CHPS Sample Units Are Coming to The Busy Honey Bee
We are excited to share some important news with our NSW Primary teaching community. Brand new CHPS Sample Units are on the way to The Busy Honey Bee.
What is CHPS?
CHPS is the acronym used for the four key NSW syllabus areas:
- Creative Arts
- HSIE
- PDHPE
- Science
These resources will be designed for Kindergarten to Year 6 and directly align with the NSW Sample Units released by the NSW Department of Education Curriculum team. This alignment ensures that content, learning intentions, and skill development reflect current NSW curriculum expectations.
Direct Alignment With NSW Sample Units
Each CHPS unit resource will be developed to mirror the structure, intent, and curriculum focus of the official NSW Department of Education Sample Units. This allows teachers to confidently implement the resources knowing they are aligned with departmental curriculum guidance while benefiting from additional classroom ready materials.
How the CHPS Units Will Be Released
Due to the scale of this project and the number of units being developed across K to 6, the CHPS resources will be released gradually.
We are unable to give definite or estimated timelines due to many varying factors (how long the resources take to create, life events, sample unit release etc).
We appreciate your patience as we work to stay on top of the release schedule and ensure each unit meets the high standards expected by NSW teachers.
What Will Be Released First
Each CHPS unit will be released in stages. The following components will be made available first:
- Teaching slides
- Unit of work
- Student workbook
Additional supporting resources will be added as the release continues.
This slow-release approach allows teachers to begin using the materials straight away while we continue developing the remaining units.
Designed for NSW Classrooms
All CHPS sample units are created specifically for NSW Primary classrooms. They are designed to reduce planning time, support syllabus alignment, and provide clear learning progression across stages.
Whilst these units are designed for the NSW curriculum, it is our intention to release an Australian Curriculum V9 version in the future.
My teaching slides are made by a real teacher with real classroom experience. They are not rushed or auto generated by AI, and they are not just a Word document dropped onto slides with a font change and a nice background. That might look finished, but it is not good teaching.
I have seen plenty of resources that do exactly that. Some are lightly edited AI output, others are copied text with very little thought about how the lesson will actually run. Often they come with a big price tag too. That is not the kind of resource I want to put my name on.
Everything I create is designed with both teachers and students in mind. These slides are meant to be used, not just displayed. You can write and draw over them, move pieces around, drag and drop, and switch between digital and printable options. Modelled and worked examples are already there, ready when you need them. The slides support explanation, discussion and hands on learning, not just reading off the screen.
I would love to produce a huge number of resources quickly, but that is not realistic when you are building lessons this way. My focus is on creating tools that actually support teaching, not scripts that tell you what to say. That only works when a real human is behind the design, thinking carefully about how it will work in a real classroom.
