Chatta is a simple and incredibly effective approach to develop oracy from Early Years to Year 6. We have seen significant impact in pupils’ use of vocabulary and their confidence as writers. I could not recommend Chatta more for its efficiency in cost, implementation and effectiveness!

The Chatta software has been updated.

The new School Community feature enables Chatta boards to be uploaded, duplicated and shared, helping schools create a bank of their own Chatta resources.

If you don't have your copy of the updated Chatta Software Guide (includes a short demonstration video) just let us know and we'll email it to you.

Chris came to visit our two Foundation 2 classes to share some of his Chatta wisdom. The sessions were VERY engaging and showed Chatta to a great extent, both for children to use and staff. The children loved the immersive atmosphere and were engaged throughout the whole session and were very eager to involve themselves throughout. We use Chatta a lot within our focus sessions and provision already, however we learnt new things from Chris' visit. Chatta allows children of all backgrounds, including those with EAL and pupils with speech difficulties, to take part in ways that they may not have fully been able to access before. The children and staff love Chatta at Victoria Dock Primary School, and can see all the benefits and fun you can have with it.

Many thanks for the visit!

My first thoughts with the demonstration of Chatta was how engaging and exciting the software was for ALL children within the class. All children participated beautifully and wanted to get involved.

Since using it in lessons I have noticed higher levels of engagement especially with SEND children and also better “ideas” coming through.

Chatta has also helped support oracy within lessons especially for my children that struggle to “hold a sentence” and then to write it down. It has helped these children due to the different ways we structure the learning. For example creating a sentence together; saying it together, saying it to their partner then listening to it in their pairs. Then the bonus of getting a child to record the sentence and hearing it back brought a sense of enjoyment and also confidence in some of my less able/confident pupils.

During a recent lesson on The Iron Man, children were able to use the pictures I had selected to retell the story opening. We were then able to add description and having the pictures really aided this well. I found that it helped with children’s sequencing and then allowed them to structure their writing.

Once we finished our big write last half term, we were also able in just one lesson to create a beautiful ‘colour poem’ using the example library which is another fantastic resource. This is something that would usually take a lot longer.

I would definitely recommend Chatta to other teachers as a tool to implement what they already do in a fun, exciting and innovative way.

I love Chatta and believe it has so much potential!

I was absolutely blown away with the impact Chatta had when I saw it modelled. The quality of the writing that the children came up with in a short space of time was brilliant.

In class 3 we have found that the children are very engaged with Chatta and they love to replay the recordings so they can magpie ideas for their writing.

We use it to structure pieces of writing, descriptions, focusing on vocabulary and sentence openers. We use it in Geography.

We particularly like the QR code as it can be popped in the books and accessed at a later date. We’ve also put it on the newsletter for parents to look at home.

We have used it with the SEN children who struggle to hold information in their head. Used it on the iPad so they can hold her ideas in a sequence.

I would definitely recommend Chatta to other teachers and have done!

Three words to describe Chatta would be…Motivational, Potential and Powerful.

These have been shown to the students at Drapers’ Maylands, England, and we have been able to learn about their Easter traditions, the egg hunt, the Easter bunny and other trivia - all through Chatta! 🐣🐰

Chatta makes a big difference to the children's writing. The children in my class really enjoy the sessions and it is wonderful  to see their improved use of the key vocabulary and sentence structures evolving. I know that it helps those in my class who are more reluctant writers to get started and enables me to stretch and challenge all of the pupils.

Inspired by the book, ‘Dear Zoo…’ Mrs Wolsey thought it would be fun to write to the zoo for a pet too. She did not expect an elephant to arrive at her house! Class 1 have had to help her, by finding out facts and creating a Chatta board to help attempt to look after it. If this doesn’t work she’ll have to…”send it back.”

Chatta allows for children in our school to orally rehearse their ideas and record their

ideas. This, as part of the sequence, allows for focus to be put into the writing when the children are at that stage.

The activities are quick and the children can write without fear of making mistakes, meaning any editing can be completed as an activity after the initial write.

A child was so confident with the set up and routine of Chatta, They were so eager to write they had written their sentences before the input, meaning they could spend time with a supporting adult, editing their work.

I use Chatta to encourage and develop early language and communication skills with more confidence.

Even in a short space of time using it the children have developed better clarity of speech, more confidence and their vocabulary is extending.

The most recent Chatta activity was 'The Gingerbread Man' story. We started with simple sentences and the repetition and I witnessed the children using this independently in their roleplay activities in provision with both puppets and then masks in the home corner.

It is an engaging, accessible resource. The children enjoy collaborating to make a class Chatta board. I mainly use it in English lessons. It provides children with a structure that they can use as much or as little as they like when they come to write. Children who require more support can refer to the board for the sentences we composed together. More able children can 'hug' the structure tightly and enhance it or change it as they wish to individualise their work. It's easy to use, too!

As well as improving engagement in English lessons, it has helped to improve the children's stamina when writing. All children are engaged when choosing the pictures and recording the class board, so they are more motivated to write. It has noticeably supported EAL children with grammar as they are repeatedly hearing correct sentence structure being modelled.

We used Chatta when writing instructions for 'How to Make an Egg Box Dragon'. We were able to practise sentences together using imperative verbs and the children could refer to the board when writing their own.

We use Chatta in school primarily to support processing which has been a struggle for some of our children; they are able to verbally give amazing answers and ideas but struggle to get these into their work. Chatta supports this by giving visual prompts and a good model for the children to use.

It has also supported oracy in school, the teacher can model a good version of the sentence and then children can use this as a template for their own or as a foundation to expand upon.

The other benefit has been to our EAL cohort of children who have enjoyed the visual element of the software.

We have noticed the quality of the written work of the children has greatly improved. When we have collected pupil voice we also have found that children have really valued that their own ideas can be collected.
