GERMAN
Term 1
Alles über mich (All about me)
Wie geht's? (How are you?)
Students reconnect with prior learning and share simple sentences about themselves including introductions of name, age, class and stating their age. Learning vocabulary to express how they are feeling will not only contribute to developing conversations but also support our school value of care and concern. Focus on our value of respect will be supported as we encourage each other to have a go at using new language.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- develop cultural awareness, making comparisons: between Australia and Germany as well as students' individual cultural backgrounds and experiences.
- make connections to everyday literacy
- see links between English and German, appreciating that some words can look the same or similar but sound different
- participate in familiar and repetitive routines, games, role play and songs to use language in context
- understand that German nouns begin with a capital letter
- state their name, class, age and birthday month
- introduce themselves and their peers
