Questions teachers ask
- What do students learn in Year 6 The Arts?
- The Australian Curriculum v9 has 25 The Arts content descriptions for Year 6 (some are written for a band of years: Years 5 and 6). They are listed on this page with their codes.
- How do I plan a Year 6 The Arts lesson for a content description?
- Choose "Plan this" next to the content description. Heapso opens a lesson plan set to Year 6 The Arts with that code linked, so the plan is built around it. You can change anything before Pip writes.
