• participating in action games and songs, for example, sand storytelling or using toy animals to demonstrate or copy stories
• listening to and following guidance from Elders and/or community members, for example, gathering traditional materials such as ochre, nuts, twigs, bark, seeds, shells and feathers and using them to decorate musical instruments or tools, or making bush toys
• working collaboratively on a class performance or activity, for example, creating a performance or video for a school assembly or making a class big book on a specific topic to deliver a key message

Year 1 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 2, students use [Language] language to interact and share information related to Country/Place, the classroom and themselves. They use cues to respond to questions and instructions, using modelled language. They locate and convey key items of information in texts, using non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning. They use familiar words, sentences and modelled language to create texts. Students recognise and use the sounds and rhythms of spoken [Language]. They demonstrate understanding that [Language] has conventions and rules for non-verbal communication, pronunciation and writing. They give examples of similarities and differences between some features of [Language] and English. They understand that [Language] belongs to Country/Place and Peoples, and is connected with their culture, and notice how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
