Our year 1 children and parents have had a fantastic time learning together at our Art gallery workshop . The children spoke like real experts explaining the skills and techniques they had acquired in our Drawing unit . Together we explored lines , focussed on artists and went on to create their very own masterpieces inspired by Bridget Riley and Paul Klee . The children loved walking their parents around our art gallery and using their Oracy skills to discuss what they had learned.
Our parents were blown away by their children’s knowledge and confidence in Art .
We have had some lovely comments in our Family learning book which really celebrate the enjoyment and importance of families learning together .
“ A wonderful workshop, the children definitely sound like Art experts. ..
It was a really enjoyable workshop. I enjoyed spending quality time with my child. A big thank you to the amazing teachers for their continued support.
A very effective workshop, very engaging. I loved seeing the Art exhibition. Thank you to all the fabulous teachers.”

🗣️✨ 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! 🌟

Happy World Book Day from Year 1. We have had the most amazing day dressing up as words. We started our day with an assembly, celebrating our love of books and reading.
We shared our favourite books, took part in a book quiz and word wizard workshop as well as freeze framing our words . We designed book marks and book tokens and had so much fun creating silly sentences using words from our class word bank. I think you would agree their handwriting is fabulous too!
