Overview

Students compare Indigenous concepts of seasons from different places with other cultures including the European concepts of spring, summer, autumn and winter. They recognise the features of a place and investigate the activities that occur in a particular place in regard to how these are connected to the seasons and the physical environment. Students suggest ways in which places can be cared for.
