Just Talk…. We are hoping to develop thinking, speaking, listening and writing skills by encouraging more talk, in and out of school. Every week the children will be given a talk-topic during Monday’s assembly, which they will be encouraged to discuss with those in school during playtimes and lunchtimes. Pupils will be encouraged to discuss the topic with anyone else they want to, outside school. To ask their parents, neighbours, local shop-keepers, brownie leaders and anyone and everyone. The idea is that the children learn how adults form arguments, how they organise their ideas. Moreover the children will learn that people have a variety of opinions, values and beliefs. This will help them to find their own opinions and increase their confidence when expressing themselves.
