By the end of Year 3, students interact with others, and listen to and create spoken and/or multimodal texts including stories. They relate ideas; express opinion, preferences and appreciation of texts; and include relevant details from learnt topics, topics of interest or texts. They group, logically sequence and link ideas. They use language features including topic-specific vocabulary, and/or visual features and features of voice.

They read, view and comprehend texts, recognising their purpose and audience. They identify literal meaning and explain inferred meaning. They describe how stories are developed through characters and/or events. They describe how texts are structured and presented. They describe the language features of texts including topic-specific vocabulary and literary devices, and how visual features extend meaning. They read fluently, using phonic, morphemic and grammatical knowledge to read multisyllabic words with more complex letter patterns.

They create written and/or multimodal texts including stories to inform, narrate, explain or argue for audiences, relating ideas including relevant details from learnt topics, topics of interest or texts. They use text structures including paragraphs, and language features including compound sentences, topic-specific vocabulary and literary devices, and/or visual features. They write texts using letters that are accurately formed and consistent in size. They spell multisyllabic words using phonic and morphemic knowledge, and high-frequency words.

What If Everybody Did That? by Ellen Javernick & Illustrated by Colleen M. Madden

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Long, long ago in ancient Greece, the people of Athens were in danger.

NOBLE BOY: Did you hear the Persians are planning to attack us?

NOBLE GIRL: Yeah, we might have to do something about it. Let's fight!

NOBLE BOY: OK!

But not everyone in the city wanted to.

POOR GIRL: I'm not too keen on this whole war thing, I wish I could have a say.

POOR BOY: Maybe we can?

To give the people more of a say on big decisions like this, the Greeks came up with something they called democracy! Democracy is a mash up of two Greek words. Demos meaning people and Kratos meaning power or rule. So together it basically means rule of the people

NOBLE GIRL: OK here's the idea. We let people vote on issues and then you guys can have a say on whatever affects you.

PEOPLE: Yay!

Well they didn't really mean everyone.

NOBLE GIRL: Oh wait, we won't let women vote, slaves vote or anyone too poor.

NOBLE BOY: Yes!

That still left thousands of men and all of them were allowed to attend meetings and vote on any issues that were important to them. The Ancient Greeks were some of the first people to experiment with better ways of leading their people. While their system was far from fair, it was a pretty revolutionary idea while it lasted.

As time went on, new rulers took over, things changed and democracy kind of died out for a while.

By the Middle Ages, monarchies had become popular. That's where kings and queens rule and the people don't get a say. But an important document called Magna Carta evened things up a little by promising people some very basic rights and slowly, over the next few hundred years, the idea of democracy started to take hold again.

Fast forward to today and democracy is the most popular form of government around the world. But it works very differently to how it did in Ancient Greece! In Australia we have something called a representative democracy. That means that unlike ancient Greece, where everyone went to meet and vote on laws, we elect a representative to do that for us!

POLITICIAN 1: I'll represent you!

POLITICIAN 2: No vote for me. I know what you want!

They're our politicians and they represent us in parliament. It's their responsibility to keep in touch with their voters and make sure their voices are heard on a national level.

POLITICIAN 1: I'm the politician that's right for you.

POLITICIAN 2: I'll make this world a better place.

Some really important values also form the basis of our democracy here in Australia. We are guaranteed the freedom to express our views without getting into trouble, equal rights for people from all different backgrounds and the right to justice and a fair and independent trial.

So that's democracy in Australia, but democracy isn't the only form of government out there. Some countries, like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, are an absolute monarchy. That's when someone born into a royal family has complete control over the people and all laws and decisions are made by that person or family. A dictatorship is another form of government. It's similar to an absolute monarchy in that one leader has power over a country, but they usually aren't royal. Instead, dictators often take control of a country by force. North Korea and Zimbabwe are considered dictatorships. In these countries, people usually don't have a lot of rights and often aren't looked after very well by their rulers.

Australia's system of democracy, on the other hand, is designed to have the people's best interests at heart and while it may not always work perfectly, we're lucky to live in a country where we have the right to voice our opinions and the freedom to make a difference.

Unit Overview

In this unit, students will explore how heat energy is produced and identify different sources of heat. They will also investigate and conduct an experiment about how heat energy moves and flows from one object to another. Students will learn that we can measure heat using thermometers and will investigate the effects of heat energy on our everyday lives.

Links to teacher reading resources, additional resources and suggested fiction and non-fiction books are included in the Supporting Material section below.

Key Inquiry Question

How does heat energy make things happen?

Unit Overview

In this unit students learn that there are three states of matter. They identify different materials as a solid, liquid or gas through an engaging interactive and hands-on experiences. They explore how adding or removing heat can affect a material's state of matter through investigations and experiments. This unit involves students working scientifically and using scientific thinking.

Unit Overview

In this unit, students build on their understanding of place value through the exploration of four-digit numbers. There is a strong emphasis on developing the key understanding that ten hundreds is the same as one thousand, and that one hundred tens is the same as one thousand. Through using a range of place value equipment, students learn to represent four-digit numbers, connecting the oral name of a number to its numeral. Standard and non-standard partitioning is revisited, and students are given the opportunity to develop a deep conceptual understanding of these concepts by using a range of physical and virtual materials.

Big Ideas

The number system extends infinitely to very large and very small numbers

Lessons

Vocabulary

Quality instruction encourages students to move beyond the use of everyday language to more precise, formal mathematical vocabulary. It is vital that students connect new vocabulary to their conceptual understanding of a topic. Teachers facilitate this by providing instruction on words, at a time when students will have a need to use them. (Hattie, Fisher & Frey, 2017). In the Inquisitive Maths lessons, mathematical vocabulary that requires teacher instruction and guidance on how to teach it is found in the Suggested Teacher Talk section of the Teaching and Learning Sequence.
