understand that a simple sentence consists of a single independent clause representing a single event or idea

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

• knowing that a single event or idea can include a process, a happening or a state (verb), the participant or who or what is involved (noun group/phrase), and the surrounding circumstances (adverb group/phrase); for example, “Teddy (the participant: who or what is involved) read (a process, a happening or a state) the book (surrounding circumstances).”
• understanding that simple sentences answer questions such as, “what is happening?” and “who or what is involved?” along with details such as “where?”, “when?”, “how?”
