understand how language, facial expressions and gestures are used to interact with others when asking for and providing information, making offers, exclaiming, requesting and giving commands

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• recognising the effects of words, signing, gestures and body language on the way communications are received by others
• understanding that symbols, gestures and body language are key components of communication in First Nations Australian communities
• viewing short films and discussing how characters use words and body language to convey emotions
