ABLEWA Stage B
Year Stage Description
The Stage B curriculum provides the basis for developing knowledge, understanding and skills for students to lead healthy, safe and active lives. Students learn about their ability and simple actions they can take to keep themselves healthy and safe. Students are supported to participate in activities associated with their personal health and hygiene. They cooperate and learn to complete some steps independently.
Students are introduced to the basic types of food and they begin to indicate personal needs.
Students explore topics related to their body parts, feelings, family and safety. Students are taught and encouraged to express their feelings, needs, likes and dislikes. Students learn to adhere to single-word safety instructions and start identifying some basic road safety behaviour.
Students develop their capacity to initiate and participate in respectful relationships in different contexts. These include at school, at home, in the classroom and when participating in physical activities.
Students learn through movement as they participate in physical activity in a range of different settings. They engage in a variety of physical activities and explore basic play equipment. The content enables students to experience a range of motor activities and develop and practise fundamental movement skills through active play and structured movement activities. They develop balance and mobility whilst moving independently and negotiate various surfaces. Students start developing their fine motor grasp and manipulation skills as they use equipment and objects.
For Stage B, teachers need to select focus areas that are age appropriate and reflect the physical, social and emotional maturation of the student. The focus areas include, but are not limited to:
- alcohol and other drugs (AD)
- food and nutrition (FN)
- health benefits of physical activity (HBPA)
- mental health and wellbeing (MH)
- relationships and sexuality (RS)
- safety (S)
- active play and minor games (AP)
- challenge and adventure activities (CA)
- games and sports (GS)
- fundamental movement skills (FMS)
- lifelong physical activity (LLPA)
- rhythmic and expressive movement activities (RE).
Personal, social and community health
Being healthy, safe and active
Identify what they like and dislike (VCHPEP015)
Identify some major body parts (VCHPEP016)
Identify significant people and communicate when they feel safe/unsafe (VCHPEP017)
Communicating and interacting for health and well being
Practise basic skills of personal care and communicate basic needs, likes and dislikes and experience the social skills of turn taking and sharing (VCHPEP018)
Express their feelings, needs, likes and dislikes (VCHPEP019)
Contributing to healthy and active communities
Participate in a variety of health, safety and wellbeing actions (VCHPEP020)
Engage in structured play activities (VCHPEP021)
Movement and physical activity
Moving our body
Practise basic gross motor movements (VCHPEM022)
Engage in a variety of physical activities and explore basic play equipment (VCHPEM023)
Understanding movement
Engage in regular physical activities and explore the development of their ability (VCHPEM024)
Explore the space around them and learn to move in relation to effort, space and objects (VCHPEM025)
Learning through movement
Cooperate with an adult to use equipment during physical activity (VCHPEM026)
Use trial and error to develop balance, independent moving across surfaces and manipulation skills (VCHPEM027)
Follow basic single word instructions when participating in structured physical activities (VCHPEM028)
Achievement standard
By the end of Stage B, students recognise themselves in mirror and photographs and explore the personal characteristics and capabilities they possess. Students express their feelings, needs, likes and dislikes through gesture and ‘yes’ and ‘no’ responses. Students recognise actions that help them be healthy, safe and physically active. They can identify places where they play and participate in physical activity from an option of two images.
Students use personal and social skills to assist them to participate in a range of activities. They demonstrate, with guidance, practices and protective behaviours to keep them safe and healthy in a variety of different regular activities. They intentionally perform some basic gross motor movement skills and use trial and error to solve basic movement challenges.
