Ethics

Ethics Term 1 - What are we talking about? 

Stage 1 – Years 1 & 2: Being similar and being different

Our Stage 1 students are exploring being similar and being different. Being able to make distinctions – to work out what is similar and what is different between two things – is another important skill. It can help us to form concepts, which can be used when reasoning about something. For example, reflecting on the similarities and differences between pets and wild animals can help students begin to form an understanding of what it means for something to be a pet. This topic is a chance for students to practice identifying similarities and differences and to start thinking about whether there are some things that all people have in common.

 

We always need more volunteers

More families choose ethics than we have volunteers to teach the classes. We currently have four classes of children on a waitlist. If you can spare half and hour on Thursday mornings, or know of friends or grandparents who could, contact pcethics@nrps.org.au or visit https://primaryethics.com.au/volunteer/
