Children in Need - from Big Write to persuasive speeches!



To celebrate and raise awareness of Children In Need, Year 6 decided to take their Big Writes to a whole new level. I can’t begin to describe how pleased and proud I was as a teacher of the effort every single person made with out speeches.

It worked like this…

  • We researched using our ICT time all about Children in Need in a great deal of detail; we discovered who they are, who they help, how they help, the history and the numbers involved (Children in Need have raised over £600,000,000 so far and long may it continue)
  • We then studied the features of speech writing and looked at openings, engagement with an audience, closings, mixing in humour with key facts and details and we paid extra attention to using emotive language to persuade people to donate.
  • We wrote the speeches as Big Write projects but we did it on a Thursday.
  • We delivered the speeches to a live audience on Children in Need day and the quality of both the written and oral speeches was spectacular!

Davey's speech was maybe his best ever Big Write, Chloe's certainly was!

An audience gripped - Josh was the master of the spoken word!
