As part of our Big Talk, the children have been asked to talk about their hero.  However, we understand that not everyone has someone they would necessarily describe as a hero, and we want everyone to feel as excited about their chosen topic.

We are therefore opening up the project slightly.  The theme will remain ‘My Hero’ , but children can interpret this in their own way.  A hero could be a person they admire, a family member, a famous figure, an inspirational character, a hobby, a sport, a favourite interest or even something they are really passionate about.

We want them to enjoy the experience, feel confident and, most importantly, have something they are excited to talk about!

Please let me know if you need any resources to complete the project.

Thank you for your continued support!

P2/3 Big Talk

Title:  My Hero

Pupils have been given a project to prepare and give a short 5 minute talk about their hero.  This can be someone they know or someone famous that they look up to.  Some ideas might be to include:  Why they are their hero? Information about the person?  What qualities does the person have to make them a hero?

They can present in various ways including poster, PowerPoint (emailed to me), photographs, bringing in items.

Children should practise their talk at home in order to be able to fluently talk to the class.  We are looking at:

• Using expression and tone to engage audience
• Good eye contact
• Clear and structured talk
• Includes detail
• Can use notes, props or technology effectively
• Can answer some questions about their talk

Talks should be ready for week beginning Monday 16^th November.
