Twice a year, the children take part in our whole school ‘Big Talk Homework Challenge’.  This is where your child gets the opportunity to prepare and present a talk to the class.  The topic will change depending on the focus for that term.  This term our Health topic is Myself and My Family.  At home, your child should prepare and practice their talk.  They can bring in photos or posters to help them.

Here is an example of a poster made last year.  The child had drawn pictures instead of words to remind them what each family member liked.  This meant they were able to confidently talk about their poster instead of relying on words that they can’t read yet.

Some ideas to include in their talk might be:

• A photo or drawing of themselves. Talk about them – What they like? Dislike? etc.
• Photos or drawings of their family.  Who lives in their house? Any pets?

The talk should be ready to be presented the week beginning Monday 27th  November. More details will be given shortly (please check back on the Blog) about which day that week your child will be giving their talk.

We look forward to hearing them!
