In this unit students will explore information about what makes them unique, identifying their strengths and achievements. Students will identify safe settings where they can move and play safely and identify actions that keep them safe in different settings.

Students also identify social changes that occur as they grow older and recognise ways, they can take some responsibility for their own safety in different situations including road safety.
