experiment with and begin to make conscious choices of vocabulary to suit the topic

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

• selecting vocabulary appropriate to the topic to replace everyday language
• discussing new vocabulary encountered in learning area texts
• exploring language used to describe characters in narratives, including nouns; for example, “magician”, “wizard”, “sorcerer”, and adjectives such as “gentle”, “timid” or “frightened”
