Speeches

At the beginning of Term 3 all children will present a speech to the class.  These will begin in Week 2.

In class we will be helping children to choose a topic about a personal experience, event or area of interest. 

We will brainstorm lots of things they could cover, how they could present their speech and give lots of opportunities to talk about a variety of topics.

We would like you to decide with your child what they can talk about. It needs to be a show and talk using visual cues like posters, their pet, toy, sports uniform, equipment, photos etc and not a speech using notes or cue cards.  

They do need to practise it but their reminder cues will be on their poster or what they have to show and their knowledge.

We will be looking for the children to be able to speak clearly and confidently, organise their ideas, talk about their topic knowingly and be able to talk for between 2 – 3 minutes.  They will then be asked questions by the teacher and other students.

Could you please talk about this with your child and help them prepare for their speech during the holidays.

Below is a timetable so you will know when your child will be presenting their speech.  These will be generally done at 9.15am in the morning and you are welcome to attend.
