Some examples of activities you can expect in our Junior Learners Classes:

  3. Tell me why: We provide young students with straightforward, age-appropriate topics, such as “Cats are better than dogs!”, encouraging children to illustrate and articulate their thoughts. This approach introduces them to fundamental reasoning skills and how to connect their reasoning to a central theme.

Our High School Learners cohort is ideal for primary school senior students (our year 6 students!) transitioning to high school, as well as current high school students eager to enhance their public speaking skills or refine their existing abilities in public speaking.

Our experienced coaches excel in customizing activities to suit each child’s current skill level, whether it involves encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones or tailoring exercises for budding speakers. In this cohort we begin exposing young orators to more complex concepts, helping them achieve mastery in speech delivery.

  1. Mock Debates: We begin to engage students in structured debates. Everything from topics they’re passionate about to topics that will improve their research skills. We also continue games that will enhance their ability to articulate arguments and think on their feet.
  2. Mock Newsroom: Setting up a mock newsroom where students can practice being news anchors, reporters, and interviewees. This helps them learn to speak clearly, stay concise, and engage an audience.
  3. Podcast Creation: Students create their podcasts on topics they love. This involves scripting, speaking clearly, and editing scripts, which are all great for developing comprehensive communication skills
  4. Impromptu Speaking: We practice more impromptu speaking in this cohort, where each student would a topic and has a few minutes prepare a short speech. This may begin with playing games to introduce quick thinking as well as more theory on strategies of how to prepare for impromptu speaking.

Helping students build the confidence they need to communicate effectively in various situations. Happy speaking!
