Time to Talk

 Oracy is a large focus in our school at the moment. As a class we are developing our vocabulary but also the way that we interact with others. Our Writing lesson on Friday was centered around oracy and being persuasive! The children had multiple topics to discuss and had 'Talk Tokens' to signify it was their turn to speak. It was fantastic hearing well-thought-out and structured debates around the given topics. At the end of the lesson we tried a new grouping called 'Traverse' where the children get 30 seconds to give their point of view before moving onto the next person.
