Speaking and listening
Description
With a high proportion of children learning English as an Additional Language, Whitchurch First School places high value on Speaking and Listening. Speaking and Listening in Year One is play based as well as the more structured learning they have to do - giving the children a chance to demonstrate what they can do in a variety of situations. Children read their own stories aloud then the whole class peer assess, expressing opinions on the quality of presentation. Working with a small group of boys building Lego models, Chrissie assesses their speaking, paying attention to audibility, ordering events, appropriate technical language and expressing creative ideas. Working with small groups of children doing role play at the vets enables their teacher to provide very detailed assessments of their language development, technical vocabulary and skills in responding to questions. The feely bag maths activity gives whole class opportunities for asking higher order questions.
