Oracy Curriculum
Proficient oracy skills are essential not just for spoken communication but also for high standards of writing and reading. If a child cannot speak in grammatically correct sentences, they will not be able to write in them or understand their meaning when reading. Talk for learning and talk to learn is at the very heart of our curriculum and opportunities to practise and promote these skills are planned at every opportunity. SEND and vulnerable pupils benefit from many stimulating experiences including oracy celebration days, performances and weekly fluency tasks. They can also access precision teaching if required. The targeted teaching and varied opportunities for oracy ensure our pupils have the skills and experience to succeed at the next stage of their education.

No Pens Day November 2022 – Warlingham Village
On No Pens Day, pens and writing are banned so that the day’s learning takes place using oracy skills e.g., speaking and listening.
Each teacher chose a particular aspect of oracy to work on with their class. These aspects were selected from our whole school oracy progression document which guides teachers on what skills children should have developed by the end of each year. Teachers planned an exciting programme of exciting and ambitious oracy activities, some of which are given below:
| Year Group | Oracy focus taken from progression document | Examples of activities included |
| Reception | Learning to take turns |
|
| Year 1 | Begin to develop some group working skills |

| Year 2 | Develop active listening and speak in full sentences |
|
| Year 3 | Begin to develop the ability to summarise and ask relevant questions to clarify |
