Year Three Talks

by Year Three teacher on January 12, 2010

The talks for the next two terms follow a similar format to the last two.  The theme is now ‘How to make…‘  so the talk can be on a subject of the child’s choosing, focusing on ‘how to make’ something.

Clearly this will lend itself to children talking through instructions-style writing, and perhaps showing examples (photos or real) of what they have made or enjoy making.

Once again the talks are designed to be low-pressure events on Tuesday afternoons (timetables to follow).  Children should speak for 2-3 minutes on their subject, should speak clearly (preferably from notes rather than a complete script), and support their talk with photos and props where appropriate.
