Oracy Day

 On Friday, Eclipse Class took part in our school wide Oracy Day. This was a whole day focused on the development on strong speaking and listening skills. We used our Guidelines for Discussion to take part in several lessons, with all the activities focusing on a different oracy based skill.

The children were fantastic and demonstrated some very high level speaking skills; using great vocabulary, reasoning skills, and group work throughout the day.

 We have made an excellent start to the new term and are all enjoying our new topics, including our text 'The True Story of the Three Little Pigs'. We did some fabulous writing today and I look forward to seeing these pieces finished this week. A few photos here from last term when we completed our topic on the Great Fire of London by recreating the fire itself. Looking forward to seeing many of you for our class assembly next week where we will share our learning from the year so far.

 Last week, Year 2 enjoyed a wonderful Cinderella pantomime played by two hilarious and talented actors. The children had a great time, joined in all the parts and learnt some fun new games! Thank you to those families who came and joined in with our Spanish lesson yesterday, the children loved having you join in with the lesson and learn some Spanish with them! Looking forward to the next open morning.

We all worked well together and practiced some good oracy along the way. Thank you to those family members who were able to join!
