Talk Three is a year-long CPD programme designed to improve outcomes for children in Y3.

The cost of this programme is £600 for one member of staff attending each session and includes three full days and three half days of CPD.

This programme includes:
- English Publication Bridging Unit - A Bear called Paddington - a full unit of work to be delivered in autumn 1 (prior to the start of Talk Programme training)
- CPD Day 1 – an exemplified narrative unit of work based on folk tales (4-5 weeks) and a non-fiction unit including letters and instructions (2 weeks) to be delivered in autumn 2, with a comprehensive resource pack.
- CPD Day 2 – an exemplified English and History focused unit of work including narrative, non-fiction and poetry elements (up to 10 weeks), to be delivered in spring 2 and summer 1 with a comprehensive resource pack.
- CPD Day 3 – an exemplified unit of work based on a classic narrative poem The Spider and the Fly by Mary Howitt with a range of narrative, poetry and non-fiction outcomes (6-7 weeks), to be delivered in summer 2, with a comprehensive resource pack.
- Three half-day update sessions with a focus on key skills alongside moderation training and workshops in the spring and summer terms. Models of moderation will be explored which can be utilised back in school.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the course. Each day has been busy, fast paced and engaging and I have a renewed confidence in my abilities as a teacher and English subject leader. I have found myself waxing lyrical to staff back at school about the and amprogrmme excited for the teachers who are booked on to do the respective Talk units with their classes next year. This will give us a full complement of talk units throughout the school, and I can only predict that it will have a huge impact on writing progress and attainment for the children in our school. Thank you to Nicola, Catherine and Steven for their hard work in putting the course together and their never-less than enthusiastic delivery of the materials. You each deserve an Oscar!

It has been a fantastic year and thoroughly enjoyed it, and so have the children. There was a lot of learning taking place where the children didn’t realise they were learning, they just thought it was fun! Attainment for the children working below age-related expectations have developed significantly and a number have crossed into age related expectations. Thank you! (Talk Three delegate 2023-24)
