They practise sequencing main events and ideas coherently and self-correct by rephrasing when meaning is not clear. They contribute ideas during class and group discussion, and follow simple instructions. They learn to retell what they have heard and ask and answer simple questions for information and clarification.Students learn and practise the skills of being attentive listeners in formal and informal classroom situations. They listen and respond to a range of simple texts, including books read aloud, audio tapes and films, and to brief spoken texts that deal with familiar ideas and information. Students begin to adjust their speaking and listening to suit context, purpose and audience in order to communicate meaning and to understand others. When sharing and responding to ideas and information in print, visual and electronic texts, students make connections with their own experiences and ideas.Learning Focus Thinking Processes Level 1As students work towards the achievement of Level 3 standards in Thinking Processes, they explore a wide variety of familiar contexts. With encouragement and support, they wonder, question and become adventurous in their thinking about these contexts. Students practise using all of their senses to develop skills in making observations which they share and record. Students begin to look for simple patterns in their observations by classifying familiar items and by looking for similarities and differences. In integrating information from their own observations, information from peers, teachers and other adults, and information from print and non-print texts, they begin to develop simple explanations for the phenomena they observe. These explanations – not necessarily complete – are the starting point for further questions and exploration. When students consider the explanations of others, they begin to ask, ‘How do you know?’ and ‘What makes you think that?’ and consider a range of possible responses. Students use a range of simple thinking tools to gather and process information. They reflect on their thinking (for example, why they think what they think about a text) and take time to consider before responding. Learning Focus Personal Learning Level 1Students experience diverse approaches and responses to learning. With teacher support, they make links with their existing experiences and develop the view that learning is exploratory, fun and rewarding. Individually and in pairs, students begin to reflect on themselves as learners, in particular on their feelings about learning, by responding to open-ended statements such as ‘I’m proud of this because…’, and using visual aids that illustrate their responses to learning, such as happy and unhappy faces. They also reflect on their own learning by responding to prompts such as ‘What do you know now, that you didn’t know before?’ Students are provided with opportunities to learn with peers and to share their feelings and thoughts about learning with others. They begin to understand that listening to the responses of others can assist them to make sense of new experiences and provide useful cues for their own learning. Students are encouraged to take risks with their learning and begin to understand that mistakes can be a vehicle for further learning.Students begin to take initiative as learners by asking questions when needed and attempting small projects. They begin to solve problems and complete work using their initiative as a first step and asking for teacher assistance as required. With support, students manage their time and resources to complete short tasks.Learning Focus Interpersonal Learning Level 1As students work towards the achievement of Level 1 standards in Interpersonal Development, they interact with their peers, teachers and other adults in a range of contexts. They learn to play constructively together and are encouraged to develop friendships with peers. Students learn to manage their impulses by developing habits and routines that help them to be a cooperative class member. They develop a vocabulary to describe the emotions they experience when interacting with others. With teacher support, students begin to identify and develop the skills required to work together in a group, including taking turns, and sharing and caring for equipment and resources. Through supported reflection on their own experiences of working with a partner, in small-group and whole-class situations, students share their thoughts on group collaboration and learn to describe and practise skills that contribute to the formation of positive relationships, and explain why these skills are desirable. While playing games and participating in classroom activities, students practise listening to others and recording or retelling what others have said. With teacher support, they practise using these skills with their peers in a variety of contexts and begin to identify when it would be useful to apply these skills in other situations. Students are supported to develop appropriate language to explain what happens and how they feel when experiencing conflict and/or bullying. They begin to understand how their actions affect others. Students learn that some people have special needs and to respect the rights, feelings and efforts of others.

Students engage with a variety of texts for enjoyment. They listen to, read and view spoken, written and multimodal texts in which the primary purpose is to entertain, as well as some texts designed to inform. These include traditional oral texts, picture books, various types of stories, rhyming verse, poetry, non-fiction, film, multimodal texts and dramatic performances. They participate in shared reading, viewing and storytelling using a range of literary texts, and recognise the entertaining nature of literature.The range of literary texts for Foundation to Year 10 comprises Australian literature, including the oral narrative traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as the contemporary literature of these two cultural groups, and classic and contemporary world literature, including texts from and about Asia.Literary texts that support and extend Foundation students as beginner readers include predictable texts that range from caption books to books with one or more sentences per page. These texts involve straightforward sequences of events and everyday happenings with recognisable, realistic or imaginary characters. Informative texts present a small amount of new content about familiar topics of interest; a small range of language features, including simple and compound sentences; mostly familiar vocabulary, known high- frequency words and single-syllable words that can be decoded phonically, and illustrations that strongly support the printed text.Students create a range of imaginative, informative and persuasive texts including pictorial representations, short statements, performances, recounts and poetry.LANGUAGEFoundation Year Language variation and changeElaborationsUnderstand that English is

Listening) Standards Foundation YearProgression Point 0.5 Students use speech to talk about personal experiences, ask and answer simple questions about ideas heard and communicate purposefully with peers and some familiar adults. They contribute ideas and information to discussions. They use simple sentences that are grammatically correct. In recounting stories or personal experiences a small number of ideas are logically sequenced. They comprehend simple oral classroom instructions, short story scripts with supporting visual information and references to particular sentences and individual words.Standard Level 1At Level 1, students use spoken language appropriately in a variety of classroom contexts. They ask and answer simple questions for information and clarification, contribute relevant ideas during class or group discussion, and follow simple instructions. They listen to and produce brief spoken texts that deal with familiar ideas and information. They sequence main events and ideas coherently in speech, and speak at an appropriate volume and pace for listeners’ needs. They self-correct by rephrasing a statement or question when meaning is not clear.VELS Thinking Processes Standards Foundation Year No standard till Level 3VELS Personal Standards Foundation Year No standard till Level 3VELS Interpersonal Learning Standards Foundation Year Progressing towards Level 1 In Interpersonal Development, there is one point (0.5) at Level 1 for assessing student progress towards the Level 1 standard. Progression point 0.5 At 0.5, the work of a student progressing towards the standard at Level 1 demonstrates, for example: that shows awareness of the safety of self and others behaviour that is helpful to peers, family members and teachers application of calming strategies such as being silent, waiting, smiling and relaxing cooperative behaviours that help them to participate in groups, games and other forms of playStandard: Interpersonal Development At Level 1, students identify the qualities of a friend and demonstrate care for other students.
