At Haydn our curriculum is rich in oracy opportunities for our children. With knowledge and skills, experiences and vocabulary at its core, we are committed to using purposeful talk to drive forward learning. We do this through opportunities which have been planned, modelled, scaffolded and structured to enable all learners to develop the skills needed to talk effectively and with confidence both in and outside school. Our deliberate and explicit teaching of oracy throughout the curriculum supports our children to make progress in the four strands of oracy. We see it as essential that children acquire the ability to be able to speak coherently and politely in their everyday experiences, to communicate their thoughts effectively and with confidence beyond the school gates.
