selecting formal/informal greetings for real or simulated situations depending on the time of day and relationship to the other person, for example, Καλημέρα φίλε, Καλησπέρα κύριε Χρήστο or Καληνύχτα μαμά, and using first names when greeting friends, but adding a salutation when addressing adults, Γεια σας κυρία Βάσω, Τι κάνετε κύριε Δημήτρη;
•
responding to questions about daily and classroom routines, for example, Πού είναι το φως; Nα το. Πού είναι ο Τάκης; Nα τος. Πού είναι η Άννα; Nα τη. Τι μέρα είναι σήμερα; Σήμερα είναι Δευτέρα. Τι καιρό κάνει σήμερα; Κάνει κρύο. Bρέχει. Δε βρέχει. Ούτε κρύο, ούτε ζέστη.
•
requesting information from others using modelled sentences, for example, Πού είναι ο κύριος Βασίλης; Να τος. Πού είναι η δασκάλα; Τι ώρα είναι; Είναι μία η ώρα.
•
using appropriate body language and gestures in response to enquiries, for example, ναι, μ’αρέσει, δε μ’αρέσει, understanding that lifting the head means ‘no’ and is used only in informal situations

Year 3 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 4, students use Greek language to initiate structured interactions to share information related to the classroom and their personal worlds. They use modelled language to participate in spoken and written activities that involve planning. They locate and respond to key items of information in texts using strategies to help interpret and convey meaning in familiar contexts. They use modelled language and basic syntax to create texts.Students imitate sound combinations and rhythms of spoken Greek. They demonstrate understanding that Greek has non-verbal, spoken and written language conventions and rules to create and make meaning. They recognise that some terms have cultural meanings. They identify patterns in Greek and make comparisons between Greek and English. They understand that the Greek language is connected with culture, and identify how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
