Communicating
Socialising
Participate in oral interactions with the teacher and peers, experimenting with simple modelled descriptive and expressive language to exchange information about their home and places in their local community, for example, 我的房间很大;
我喜欢看书;我的花园很漂亮;我星期六去图书馆
Seek permission from the teacher or peers to participate in activities or to be excused, for example, 我可以去厕所吗?;我可以去喝水吗?
(ACLCHC033)
Collaborate with peers in guided written tasks to present personal information and relate experiences about their home and places in their local community, through photo-stories, emails and text messages for new classmates or for a class blog, for example,
我的卧室很小。卧室里有一张白色的书桌,一把黑色的椅子和一张蓝色的床。
