Pod 1 Speaking and Listening

Our oral language programme helps the children in our Pod to communicate effectively with one another. We have been learning how to take turns when speaking and to speak clearly in sentences. We are learning to be good listeners by: looking at the people who are talking; smiling and nodding to give encouragement; and not interrupting. We are also learning to ask questions to find out more details. Every Wednesday we bring in special treasures or objects from home and tell each other about them.

Here we are with some of our special objects. Don't forget to bring something in to talk about every Wednesday.

We learn to take it in turns when sharing our news.

This is doughnut news. We talk to a partner from the other class, then move around to a new partner.

We talk about what we notice and what we think when we do science activities.
