Oracy in KS1

Today we visited the beach! Only through meditation but the children thoroughly enjoyed the experience of hearing the waves crashing against the shore, the seagulls squawking and imagining their feet walking on the warm sand.

As a class, we then discussed all of the activities that we might get up to when we are at the beach. The children were really good at this and had lots of ideas!

The children then took one of these ideas and worked as a group to freeze frame it in small groups. We talked about the use of facial expressions as well to show how we are feeling. We then focused on this half term’s theme ‘Be A Speaker’. Each of us had to share our role in the freeze frame remembering to – speak in full sentences, speak clearly and give eye contact. We really enjoyed visiting the beach!
