Oracy No Pen Wednesday

 This week, children across the school have been taking part on 'No Pen' activities to support their learning. This has allowed children to build confidence through speaking, listening, thoughtful discussion and exploring ways people can communication. Children took part in carefully planned oracy activities to bring their learning to life.

During Oracy No Pen Day, there was no pen work at all in at least one lesson. Instead, children participated in structured speaking and listening tasks that supported learning through conversation. We observed how children used sentence stems, built on classmates’ ideas, and reflected on what they had heard from activities on the playground, in forest school and wonderful activities in the playground.

Children have also been invited to take part in a 'No Pen Half Term Homework' where they can be creative in communicating a 'Special person or place Show and Tell'. Keep your eyes peeled for this on Google Classroom or Seesaw.
