Year 1 HASS Bundle: Time Travellers & Local Explorers + Student Worksheets (Geography & History) - Year 1

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 Year 1 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 "managed features" or "past family roles" to six-year-olds without it becoming a boring 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 local world and the past.

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 Year 1 HASS is explicitly taught, practised and assessed. From AC9HS1K03 (Natural, managed and constructed features) to AC9HS1K02 (Daily life then and now), 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 "Geography Explorers" to map their school and hunt for features.

·         History: Acting as "Time Detectives" to investigate old photos and play games from the past.

·         Civics: Creating a "Caring Plan" to look after their local environment.

·         Connection: Interviewing family members to uncover stories from "long ago".

3. Reclaim Your Weekends This isn't just a list of activity ideas, it is a complete pedagogical toolkit. You get 24 weeks of lesson plans, formative and summative assessments, marking rubrics, differentiation strategies and resource lists. It is essentially a year's worth of planning, ready to go!
4. FREE Student Worksheets also included.

What’s Inside the Bundle?

Unit 1: Our Local Area (Geography)

·         The Vibe: A team of Explorers and Cartographers mapping their world.

·         The Mission: Students explore the natural, managed and constructed features of their community. They will become Nature Detectives on a school walk, learn to create and read simple maps during a "Classroom Treasure Hunt" and investigate how places change over time.

·         The Climax: The "Caring Plan for Our Place," where students propose real ways they can contribute to caring for their local environment.

Unit 2: Our Wonderful Families and Daily Life (History)

·         The Vibe: A Living Museum of Personal History.

·         The Mission: Students travel back in time to compare life today with their parents' and grandparents' childhoods. They will create Toy Timelines, play "Games Then and Now" (like hopscotch and marbles) and act as Role-Play Historians to understand family roles of the past.

·         The Climax: The "Our History Museum," where students curate a display of items representing family life in the past and present, guiding visitors through their exhibit.

Features You Will Love

·         Explicit & Play-Based: Lessons balance explicit instruction (e.g. defining "natural" vs "constructed") with hands-on play (e.g. "Mystery Family Member" photo guessing games), catering to how Year 1 students actually learn.

·         Real-World Career Links: Every lesson connects learning to real jobs, from Park Rangers and Town Planners to Museum Curators and Historians, helping students see themselves as capable researchers right now.

·         Differentiation Built-In: Whether you have learners who need visual supports or advanced students ready to create complex timelines, we have included extension and support options for every lesson.

·         Assessment Ready: Formative Assessments (like the "Venn Diagram Sort") and Summative Assessments (+ 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.
