We are delighted to introduce the CUSP Festival of Spoken Language at Westfield.
At CUSP and Westfield, we are unapologetic about putting language front and centre of our offer across the curriculum. This is because we know that without language, pupils cannot make sense of important concepts and communicate their thinking to the world around them. Our aim is to get all children talking and enjoying playing with language.

The Festival of Spoken Language is a one-day event. As part of this, we have made three promises.
Every child will have access to:

1. Challenges to explore the joys of spoken Language
2. Share their work with other Trust schools
3. The chance to hear from people who use language as an important part of their job
   

Activities and Challenges

Throughout the day, our pupils at Westfield took part in a number of challenges:

Challenge 1: Learn and tell a joke

Challenge 2: Perform a short poem or rhyme

Challenge 3: Share an idea

Challenge 4: Debate an important issue
