Communicating

Socialising

Interact and socialise with the teacher and peers, using simple descriptive or expressive modelled language, to exchange information about aspects of their personal worlds, including their daily routines at home and school and their interests, for example, Wie spät ist es? Es ist viertel vor neun; Ich stehe um 7.30 Uhr auf. Dann frühstücke ich; Ich schwimme und surfe oft; Was ist dein Lieblingsfach? Ja, ich mag Deutsch. Wie findest du Mathe?; Ich finde Sport interessant. Und du?
