At St. Mary’s, we strive to create an oracy-rich community, where we ensure that all children feel that their voices are valued and listened to. The children are taught to use their voice confidently to: reason, negotiate, present and explore ideas to support their learning across the curriculum and to prepare them for later life.
When the children returned to school after half term, we participated in an oracy day. This consisted of a range of activities in which the children could develop their oral and aural skills.
Watch below to see some of the activities we participated in.
Speaking and Listening – From Early Years to Year 6
Voice 21 Oracy Framework
Year 2 RE Learning🌈
In our RE lesson, we explored the idea of making choices and turning back to God. We linked our learning to the story of Noah’s Ark, thinking carefully about the choices Noah had to make and what he may have said or felt.
Using our Oracy skills, the children acted out different scenarios and used stem sentences to help them think deeply about – What would Noah say? They shared their ideas, listened carefully to different perspectives and explained their thinking. We also explored how saying sorry, making good choices and turning back to God can help to repair and strengthen relationships.

🌟 Over the past few weeks, Year 6 had been busy creating wonderful memory boxes that reflect their school life! 🎨✨
Using mixed media, they thoughtfully designed their boxes to capture special moments and personal memories. Each child chose whether they wanted their piece to be abstract or more literal, giving them the freedom to express their unique perspective. The results are as creative and meaningful as the memories themselves! We couldn't wait to show our parents💭🖌️
