Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Using a Big book and other books, have learners demonstrate the appropriate way of handling books, holding books upright when reading, not bending the spine, opening the pages carefully in order not to tear the pages, etc. Have learners take turns to do "Pretend reading" using the appropriate book handling skills. Guide learners discuss the effects of mishandling books e.g. the spine/backbone of the will break, the sheets of the book will get torn, we will find it difficult to get books, etc. Schedule a book mending day with the learners to assist them to mend the class torn
books. Using a book, explain 2/3 dimensional (2/3 D) shapes. With more activities and examples, assist learners identify and describe 2/3 D shapes.
