Work sample Year 5 HASS F-6: Establishment of a new colony

This work sample demonstrates evidence of student learning in relation to aspects of the achievement standards for Year 5 HASS F-6. The primary purpose for the work sample is to demonstrate the standard, so the focus is on what is evident in the sample not how it was created. The sample is an authentic representation of student work and may contain errors such as spelling mistakes and other inaccuracies. In this work sample students: • explain the causes of the establishment of British colonies in Australia after 1800 • explain the roles of significant individuals or groups in the development of an Australian colony and the impact of those developments • explain the nature of resources, and how they meet needs and wants • locate, collect and organise information and data from primary and secondary sources • suggest conclusions based on evidence • select ideas and findings from sources and use relevant terms and conventions, to present descriptions and explanations
