The last few lessons (149 – 160) review language and skills practised over the whole of Primary Year
1. The final three Language Arts lessons suggest a class performance of some kind which reviews a
chosen area of language learned during the year.

4. Do teachers need to follow the Scheme of Work exactly?

Teachers need to keep to the given Content and Learning Standards for lessons. This is because
Content and Learning Standards are repeated a number of times over Primary Year 1 in order to
increase pupils’ chances of success in achieving them across all skills and within Language Arts, but
teachers do not have to follow the learning outline and materials suggested. These can, of course, be
adapted according to the teaching and learning context, as long as they work towards the Content
and Learning Standards for that particular lesson.
