Students will learn the important social skill of communication, how to take turns in speaking, and how to listen respectfully to others. Shy/quiet children need to be given the chance to blossom (and are, sadly, often overlooked in mainstream education), and children who are loud in class, especially those with ASD/ADHD/SEN, are often told to be quiet without actually being heard. Everyone should be allowed a voice. This class aims to let that happen. 

I have worked with primary-aged children for over 30 years and know how important it is for them to develop the social skills of speaking and listening respectfully to others and how difficult this can be for some. Shy children need to be given the chance to blossom (and are, sadly, often overlooked in mainstream education because louder children take the attention from those who may need it the most), and children who are loud in class (maybe because they have ASD/ADHD/SEN) are often told to be quiet without actually being heard. Over the years, I have learned that everyone should be allowed a voice. This class aims to let that happen.
