🗣️✨ 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! 🌟

Year 2 spent the afternoon celebrating St David’s Day, one of our class saints. We learnt all about how he spread Gods word and founded numerous monasteries. As St David was Welsh, we enjoyed creating an observational drawing of daffodils and even tried some Welsh cakes! Very yummy!! #year2stm #catholiclifestm #artstm … See MoreSee Less

She needed a map, a telescope and some helpful children to find all the gold. This week in Year 2, we’re creating a wanted poster to try and catch the mischievous Pirate Holdway! 1000 gold coins for anyone who stops her from stealing any more treasure! Arrgghhh! #year2stm #englishstm #writingstm … See MoreSee Less
