Big Talk Homework

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 practise their talk.  They can bring in photos or posters to help them. Please see below a great example of a poster that was made.  They used lots of drawings instead of writing which helped the child remember what to say about each person in their family.

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 bg Monday 17th November. More details will be given shortly (please check Blog) about which day that week your child will be giving their talk.

We look forward to hearing them!
