stage 1

welcome!​

​

Amara & Friends aligns closely with the development framework as identified for the NSW Department of Education, and has worked closely with educators, parents and guardians to ensure that the world correlates with the defined educational outcomes of children in stage 1.

​

Children in stage 1 are far more familiar and comfortable when dealing with texts that require individual thought and/understanding for them to derive their own insight and appreciation into the language. They recognise that the written language serves a variety of purposes and is deliberate in its communication to specific and targeted audiences.

​

In becoming more confident, students are able to use strategies such as text structure, context, grammar and phonics to engrain their own understanding of the world around them into an imaginative worldly display. Student also make strong connections between the written word and text (like a picture book) and can make links between action and consequence in a way that produces inferences about character motivations and desires. They are also encourages to reflect on and consider their own and others works.

The team of Amara & Friends acknowledges the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation upon whose ancestral lands the creation, knowledge sharing and idea of Amara & Friends stems. We acknowledge and pay respects to Elders, past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of the land. We further pay respects to the traditional custodians of the ancestral lands you may be reading our work from.
