• S 1.1 Students identify everyday shapes and objects using geometric names and make and describe simple representations of them.
• S 1.2 Students follow and give simple directions to move through familiar environments and locate and place objects in those environments.

• PS1.3 Students participate in a cooperative project to cater for the needs of living things.
• PS 1.4 Students organise and present information about places that are important to them.
• SRP 1.1 Students identify how elements in their environment meet their needs and wants.

• Ask questions to clarify information and to gain additional information
• Communicate with, and interact in, small groups in familiar social situations

• Interpret a small range of familiar text types
• Respond appropriately to speakers in familiar school situations

• Sequence information in intelligible ways and link ideas using simple conjunctions
• Use patterns of simple sentences and some topic-related words

When listening, students:

• Show awareness of basic stages of generic structure
• Interpret the meaning of topic-related words

Reading And Viewing
CU 1.2  Cultural Learning Outcome
When reading and viewing, students:

• Select and interpret texts to suit a small range of purposes for reading and viewing
• Identify text type and suggest audience of well-structured supportive texts
• Make connections between their own experiences and the ideas and information in the text
• Make meaning of, and respond to, a small range of familiar paper and electronic texts

Op 1.2 Operational Learning outcome
When reading and viewing, students:
Draw on awareness of some stages of generic structure to:

• Make meaning from some topic words and draw on words and phrases that are repeated throughout the text
• Predict and confirm by using prior knowledge, supportive visuals and semantic, syntactic and graphophonic cues

• Maintain a topic in brief modelled texts or innovations of familiar texts eg factual descriptions, short factual texts including observations and explanations, simple slideshows, photo stories and reflections.
• Construct texts for a small range of familiar supportive audiences
• Use a small range of familiar paper and electronic texts to communicate

• Replicate some stages of generic structure of a small range of modelled or familiar texts
• Use simple sentences and questions
• Use a small range of topic-related words
• Link ideas using modelled sentence structures
• Accurately spell frequently used words and spell unknown words using sound/visual (graphophonic) patterns, meaning
• Patterns, knowledge of word function and simple endings

• Identify the ways they have represented people, places, events and things through choice of images and simple fonts
• Discuss choice of pictures, graphics, paper, fonts, print sizes and/or colours
