English
Kinder 2
This year we are working with a new scheme to support
our teaching of English as a second language. Faces is
introduced in Kinder 1 and follows on throughout Kinder. Dominoes
1 is introduced in Pre First and continues throughout the Primary
years. It aims to build on the
children’s confidence in Speaking English and correcting many common
grammatical errors. It builds on previously learned skills and development and
revises prior structures.

the following language structures:
Common questions
e.g. What do you see? May I…? How many…? How old are
you? Where’s
the…?
Responses and
statements e.g. I see…, There is/are…, I’m…, He/she is…
