Year 5 - Reading into writing - Oracy

Date: 30th Mar 2026 @ 5:21pm

Today in Year 5, we focused on developing our cognitive skills as part of our Oracy Voice 21 work. We began by recapping our physical oracy skills while reading cinquain poems, which we are exploring as part of our reading‑into‑writing sequence. After this, we moved on to our cognitive skills by creating a one‑minute elevator pitch.​

We discussed how to construct a persuasive argument and considered what we might say if we had the chance to speak to Miss Moyes. The children thought carefully about strong points they could make, using clear reasoning and justification to support their ideas.​
