Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Using objects in the class, scaffold learners to describe the various position that objects are at in the classroom. E.g. the teacher's table, a non-living is at the front. Have learners describe their siting position relative to other learners. Introduce them to vocabularies such as: in front of, behind, on the third row, and other words that show position.
e.g. Sesi is behind Neni. Scaffold learners to understand that object as well as humans can change their position any time moving from position to position in space.
