- Pupils are competent in the arts of speaking and listening, making formal presentations, demonstrating to others and participating in debate.
- Pupils to listen and respond appropriately to adults and their peers by considering and evaluating different viewpoints, attending to and building on the contributions of others.
Early Years Foundation Stage
- Pupils engaged in quality conversations with adults and peers throughout the day in a language-rich environment.
- To have back-and-forth interactions from an early age which form the foundations for language and cognitive development.
- To provide extensive opportunities to use and embed new words in a range of contexts and engaging them actively in stories, non-fiction, rhymes and poems.
- Use conversation, story-telling and role play as opportunities to give pupils time to share ideas with support and modelling from the adults.
Pupils are comfortable using a rich range of vocabulary and language structures that invite them to elaborate in conversations.
