🗣️✨ Speak Like an Expert at St Mary’s! ✨🗣️
This term, our pupils took part in a ‘Speak Like an Expert’ challenge, developing their disciplinary oracy across the curriculum. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of talk, vocabulary and confidence shown by the children! 🤩
Each year group became experts in a different field:
🎨 Year 1 – Artists
🏅 Year 2 – Sportspeople
🙏 Year 3 – Theologians
🔬 Year 4 – Scientists
📜 Year 5 – Historians
➗ Year 6 – Mathematicians
Children practised the four strands of oracy:
🧠 Cognitive – organising and explaining ideas
🗣️ Linguistic – using ambitious, subject-specific vocabulary
👥 Social & Emotional – listening and responding respectfully
🎤 Physical – speaking clearly and confidently
The discussions, explanations and expert vocabulary we heard across the school were incredible. We are so proud of how confidently our pupils can now speak like experts! 🌟

🌟🎭 Oracy Superstars! 🎭🌟
A huge congratulations to Millie, Mila, Roosevelt, Alessandra, Richa, Henry and Nicholas in Year 6 for earning a coveted Oracy Sticker during our Readers’ Theatre lesson! 🏆✨
They absolutely smashed the physical strand as they brought our core text Wonder to life, reading with fantastic expression and projecting their voices with real confidence. 🎤📖 Their performance was engaging, thoughtful and a joy to watch.
We are so proud of the effort and enthusiasm they showed. Keep shining, Year 6! 🌟👏
