Creative Arts K–6 sample units align with the department’s scope and sequence. The structure follows NESA’s sample whole school curriculum plan. Four sample units for Early Stage 1 will be released in a phased approach across 2025 and 2026.
This unit teaches students to develop creativity and self-expression through dance and music inspired by diverse cultures. In dance, students explore movements, respond to the beat, and observe and perform cultural dances to develop their understanding of storytelling through movement. In music, students explore how music can express ideas and connect to different cultures as they develop their understanding of rhythm, pitch and dynamics.
