• recounting details in chronological order about shared events such as sports day, excursions or a class visit from an Elder, for example, making a big book, digital presentation or display
• using secure digital tools to record their ideas, for example, taking photos on Country/Place and making voice recordings of observations or using modelled sentences to write or draw about the events of the day
• recounting aspects of daily routines, selecting captions or attaching word or sentence bubbles, and sharing the information with others, for example, adding pictures of what to do when arriving at home, school or on Country/Place, and labelling them in [Language]
• creating posters or a simple skit to convey important messages, for example, using modelled language related to caring for Country/Place, health and wellbeing to create a poster referencing the seasonal calendar or a skit about healthy, local food
• engaging in artistic activities, with guidance from Elders and/or community members, such as creating dances, paintings or visual designs inspired by [Language] and culture, for example, creating art based on the seasonal calendar, such as paintings showing how Country/Place, land, waters, sky and all living things are connected, and then contributing this art to a local art exhibition

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.
