Foundation HASS Bundle: Little Explorers & Big Histories + Student Worksheets (Foundation Year/ Kindergarten)

Stop drowning in curriculum codes and start inspiring the next generation of historians and geographers. This is the only resource you need to deliver a rigorous, engaging and fully compliant HASS program for your Foundation Year students.

Are you tired of spending your weekends trying to decipher the Australian Curriculum? Do you struggle to find meaningful ways to teach abstract concepts like "past and present" or "place and space" to five-year-olds without it becoming a dry lecture?

We have done the heavy lifting for you. This comprehensive bundle contains two complete units that seamlessly integrate History and Geography. Meticulously mapped to the Version 9.0 Australian Curriculum, these units don't just "cover" the content descriptors, they turn inquiry into a joyful journey of discovery about their world and their families.

Why This Bundle Will Change Your Teaching Life

1. Complete Curriculum Coverage (Done-For-You) We haven't missed a beat. Every mandatory Content Descriptor for Foundation Year HASS is explicitly taught, practised and assessed. From AC9HFGK01 (First Nations Countries/Places) to AC9HFHK01 (Family structures), we provide the roadmap so you can focus on the teaching.
2. Authentic "Engagement" Forget dry worksheets. These units are built on Inquiry-Based Learning, teaching students that HASS is about being curious detectives in their own lives.

• Geography: Becoming "Place Detectives" to investigate features of their school.
• History: Acting as "Time Travellers" to compare old and new toys.
• Civics: Learning to "Care for Country" and respect the environment.
• Connection: Building "Family Trees" to visualise relationships.

3. Reclaim Your Weekends This isn't just a list of activity ideas, it is a complete pedagogical toolkit. You get 20 weeks of lesson plans, formative and summative assessments, observational rubrics, differentiation strategies and resource lists. It is essentially a semester's worth of planning, ready to go!
4. FREE Student Worksheets also included. 

What’s Inside the Bundle?

Geography: My Special Places

• The Vibe: A team of Explorers and Cartographers mapping their world.
• The Mission: Students explore the places they belong to. They will become Place Detectives hunting for natural and constructed features, create Sensory Maps to represent how places feel and sound and learn about the importance of Country/Place to First Nations Australians.
• The Climax: The "My Special Place Tour," where students guide a peer through a diorama or model of their favourite place, explaining why it is special.

History: My Family History

• The Vibe: A Museum of Personal History.
• The Mission: Students become historians of their own lives. They will become Family Tree Builders using leaves to represent family members , Time Travellers sorting objects into "Then" and "Now" and investigate how families celebrate special events at the Celebration Station.
• The Climax: The "My Family Story Box," where students act as Museum Curators, presenting a box of special items and sharing a family story with the class.

Features You Will Love

1. Explicit & Play-Based: Lessons balance explicit instruction (e.g. modeling "positional language" like next to/behind) with hands-on play (e.g. a "Treasure Hunt" using maps), catering to how five-year-olds actually learn.
2. Real-World Career Links: Every lesson connects learning to real jobs, from Cartographers and Park Rangers to Museum Curators and Genealogists, helping students see themselves as capable researchers right now.
3. Differentiation Built-In: Whether you have learners who need visual supports or advanced students ready to create complex maps, we have included extension and support options for every lesson.
4. Assessment Ready: Formative Assessments (like the "Time Traveller Sort") and Summative Assessments (+ Observational Marking Rubrics) are included for every unit, designed to be low-stress but high-data.

Transform your students from passive listeners into active Historians, Geographers and Community Members.
