All pupils have been issued with their first ‘Big Talk’ homework of the session. The assessment criteria for their personal presentations can be found on their class GLOW blog pages – these will help pupils and parents/carers to know what is expected at each level.
Each class has a different focus for their talk and some tips to help them get organised have been highlighted by their teacher.
Pupils should practise their talk at home as often as possible and use a timer to help. They may want to use notes or prompt cards to help them stay on track.
All talks will be assessed using the school’s Talking & Listening criteria, which you can see by clicking on the link below. Talking and Listening skills are developed throughout our Literacy programme and it’s important that pupils are encouraged and supported to prepare, practise and deliver their talk so thank you in advance for working with your child to get their talk ready.
Talks should be ready to be present the week beginning Monday 29th November – please visit your child’s class GLOW blog for more information.
Thank you. Mrs Govans
