“Thanks Topsy for your help over the course of this term. I feel like it has had a huge impact on the teaching and learning in my classroom. Last week, a child made a statement which took us in a slightly different direction - we ended up using talking strategies for the whole lesson. I used the talk toolkit to deepen the conversation further. In the following session the children wrote an information text to record the discussion. The writing was of a much better quality than it normally would be. The children felt more confident in the subject matter and a lot of my reluctant writers were enthused to write. The writing session began at 2pm on a Friday afternoon... I couldn’t believe the quality of the session and the focus from the children.”
