understand how vocabulary is used to express greater precision of meaning, including through the use of specialist and technical terms, and explore the history of words

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• using precise words for naming; for example, instead of “mammal” or “whale”, using “humpback whale”
• exploring Greek and Latin roots in commonly used words; for example, the Greek root word “tele” meaning distant in words such as “telephone” and “teleport”
