  • VC2E5LA08

    Understand how vocabulary is used to express greater precision of meaning, including through the use of specialist and technical terms <ul> <li>using precise words for naming; for example, instead of ‘mammal’ or ‘whale’, using ‘humpback whale’</li> </ul>

  • VC2E5LA06

    Understand how noun groups can be expanded in a variety of ways to provide a fuller description of a person, place, thing or idea <ul> <li>learning how to expand a description by combining a related set of nouns and adjectives, for example ‘two old brown cattle dogs’</li> <li>observing how descriptive details can be built up around a noun or an adjective, forming a group (for example, ‘this very smelly cleaning cloth in the sink’ is a noun group and ‘as pretty as the flowers in May’ is an adjective group)</li> </ul>

  • VC2E4LY05

    Read and write high-frequency words including homophones and know how to use context to identify correct spelling <ul> <li>recognising that contextual and syntactical clues can be used to determine the use of homophones, for example ‘We grow wheat on our farm.’ and ‘The train trip will take about an hour.’</li> </ul>

  • VC2E4LA10

    Expand vocabulary by exploring a range of synonyms and antonyms, and using words encountered in a range of sources <ul> <li>building vocabulary from research about technical and learning area–specific topics, for example gravity and magnetic forces</li> <li>determining or clarifying the shades of meaning of synonyms and antonyms</li> <li>using words encountered in texts that are formed from an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language, for example the Shire of Nillumbik, which draws its name from the Wurundjeri name for the region, meaning 'shallow earth'</li> </ul>

  • VC2E4LA07

    Understand how adverb groups or phrases and prepositional phrases work in different ways to provide circumstantial details about an activity <ul> <li>investigating in texts how adverb groups/phrases and prepositional phrases can provide details of the circumstances surrounding a happening or state, for example ‘At midnight (time) he rose slowly (manner) from the chair (place) and went upstairs (place).’</li> </ul>

  • VC2E4LA06

    Understand that complex sentences contain one independent clause and at least one dependent clause typically joined by a subordinating conjunction to create relationships, such as time and causality <ul> <li>creating richer, more specific descriptions by using adjectival clauses; for example, ‘Crossing the mountain range was difficult.’ becomes ‘The mountain pass was dangerous when it rained.’</li> <li>creating more precise and detailed sentences by adding adverbial clauses; for example, ‘They crossed the mountain range.’ becomes ‘Although the path was overgrown, they crossed the mountain range.’</li> </ul>
