WaterSense: Teachers guide for safe water practice- Year 1 & 2

The aim of this teacher's guide is to (1) assist schools developing the initial stages of a 'water safety culture', (2) identify the important water safety messages covered in the video for year 1 and 2 children, (3) illustrate the relationship between each safety message, strands and achievement objectives identified in the Health & Physical Education Curriculum (1999), (4) give an example of the WaterSense objectives and learning outcomes for each safety message, (5) offer references and resources and, (6) provide a selection of master task sheets. This resource will provide a foundation for a child's aquatic education at a new entrant level. This teacher's resource booklet is also accompanied by the WaterSense video (see rec # 5566).
