In a short space of time it has already had a massive impact.

We believe if it works, we’ll do more of it, if it doesn’t we’ll do something different.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The school has been working with chatta since December 2015 and the school’s use of the approach has steadily grown due to the impact seen in early years, special needs interventions and parent partnerships.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Since starting to work with chatta, staff at Lyons Hall Primary School have engaged with:

  • In school training with the chatta team
  • Classroom demonstration sessions
  • Parent workshops
  • Chatta activity resources
  • Online and telephone support
  • Chatta’s special needs resources

Chatta is an approach that we are using inside and outside the classroom to reinforce our teaching. The approach has very quickly become central to our practice and what we do in lessons. Teachers are extremely positive about it.

This is such a powerful approach.

The parent workshop was fantastic and inspired everyone involved. There is a real buzz about using chatta from children, staff and parents.

The emphasis is on modelling and rehearsing language, linking language to stories and sequencing.[/vc_column_text][vc_images_carousel images=”6003,6004,6005,6006″ img_size=”large” onclick=”link_no” slides_per_view=”4″][vc_column_text]

Chatta enables ALL children to become the best learners that they can be in a fun and interactive way! The approach encourages greater vocabulary in full sentences and the children are attentive, engaged and confident.

  • Emotional and behavioural difficulties
  • Memory difficulties

Chatta is an amazing ‘simple to use’ approach and the app can be used in so many tasks by any child to have successful learning. It’s so quick to learn and implement.
