A little info about this class...
This class allows children to practise public speaking in a fun and non-threatening environment. Each child can develop at their own speed – so if reading out a four line poem is where he/she is at – this will be celebrated, but other children might be creating their own character, writing a monologue and performing it. Regular debating topics to encourage the children to really think about building an argument and learning how to present it convincingly.
These skills are great for building confidence and how to present yourself with confidence in the new “Zoom world” that we live in, but the class is equally good for building essay writing skills, as children learn to construct an argument. There will be lots of fun, some role play and lots of opportunities to socialise and build friendships in this group.
For safeguarding purposes, each Zoom lesson includes a brief registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this or needs to have their face covered during lessons for religious or any other reason please get in touch, and we can arrange an alternate method of registration for them.
