Course Outline

Children will make many new connections to people, places, and events during the year.

The Primary year is organized into three units in which children will examine

• connections to their identity by further developing an awareness of self and others
• connections to their roots by exploring how they are connected to communities

Children will be provided a variety of opportunities, through age-appropriate, play-based learning activities, to explore and experience social studies through the lens of personal experiences in their daily lives

Outcomes

• Learners will investigate groups to which they belong.
• Learners will investigate how cooperation is an important part of being a group member.
• Learners will investigate how local people, including Acadians, African Nova Scotians, Gaels, Mi’kmaq, and various cultural groups, have varied traditions, rituals, and celebrations.
