Each week, we send a Samares Gets Talking activity home for children to complete with their families and friends. We introduce a discussion topic in assembly each week, and children have the opportunity at lunchtimes to discuss their ideas.

On a Friday, the discussion point is sent home with some 'top tips' for parents to support high quality conversations at home - giving children an opportunity to further practice their oracy skills. 

The resource has some sentence starters and talk tactics to help structure the conversations set around a different topic each week.
