English
Kinder 3
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.
Faces 3
Faces 3 covers
the following language structures:
Common questions
e.g. Where’s the…? Can I..? What are you..? What is…?
Responses and
statements e.g. I see…, yes/no you can/can’t…, I’m…, He/she is…, It is/isn’t…,
I do…, I love…, I want…, I’m going
Comparisons
bigger and smaller
Giving and following
instructions
Prepositions
Explanations and
expressing preferences and wants

These skills will
be reinforced in other English classes and also in other subject areas such as
art, music, science and maths.
