Year 6 Oral Language

Read the scenario and complete the activities. Practise speaking with a partner where possible. Focus on clear speech, active listening and thoughtful responses.

The Riverside Reserve proposal

A group of young people is preparing a short presentation for a community meeting. They want support for adding a drinking-water fountain and more native plants to Riverside Reserve. Their notes say: “People use the reserve for sport, picnics and walking. A fountain could help visitors refill reusable bottles. Native plants could provide food and shelter for local birds. We should ask the council to check the cost and choose a suitable place. We have not yet surveyed visitors, so we do not know how many people would use a fountain.”

1.Which statement is the strongest reason in the group's proposal, and why might it matter to people who visit the reserve?
2.The group admits that it has not surveyed visitors. What information should they collect before making a confident recommendation?

Listen and respond

Imagine you are listening to a speaker who says: “I like the idea of more native plants, but I worry the fountain will be expensive to install and maintain.”

3.Choose the response that shows active listening and invites the speaker to explain more.
  • “That’s wrong. The council can afford it.”
  • “You’re concerned about the cost. What costs do you think the group should investigate?”
  • “Anyway, native plants are more important.”
  • “I already said we need a fountain.”
4.Write one follow-up question that would help the group understand the speaker’s concern about maintenance.
5.Mark each statement as true or false. A thoughtful speaker should adapt their voice so the audience can hear, vary pace or emphasis to highlight key ideas, and avoid rushing through every sentence.

Plan a short persuasive talk

Prepare a 45–60 second talk asking the community to support one practical improvement for Riverside Reserve. You may support the fountain, native plants, both ideas, or a different improvement. Use the planning prompts and then practise aloud.

6.Write your main claim as one clear sentence. Make it specific enough for your audience to understand what you want.
7.Add one reason and one example or piece of evidence that could support your claim. Do not present an unverified idea as a proven fact.
8.Choose two delivery choices that would help a community audience follow your talk.
  • Speak at a steady pace and pause after the main claim.
  • Use a voice that is loud enough for the room.
  • Look only at the floor and speak as quickly as possible.
  • Use complicated words even when a simpler word is clearer.
9.A listener asks, “How do you know people want this?” Give a respectful response that recognises what is not yet known and suggests a next step.
10.After practising, complete this reflection: name one speaking choice you used effectively and one specific goal for your next talk.
