Welcome to our Year 3 Roman Museum. The children loved speaking as historians, being tour guides and sharing exhibits. Inventions, mosaics, emperors, Boudicca, green screen adverts, Celts vs Romans dance and so much more. @voice21oracy.bsky.social

The view from here: great pleasure today to attend the @voice21oracy.bsky.social ‘Speaking Summit,’ reflecting on the next stage of our #oracy journey. Well done to @kateparadine.bsky.social & team. A bonus to bump into oracy commissioner Jeffrey Boakye:
Everyone is talking about oracy—or so it seems. But what actually is oracy? Our head of learning impact and influence @amygaunt.bsky.social explores the history of this timely question in @seced.bsky.social's best practice guide to teaching oracy in schools 👇 voice21.org/so-how-do-we...

Love this debut from Portuguese writer #InesViegasOliviera. “The Duel” is a profound and thoughtful tale of letting go of past conflicts and seeing beyond the hate. Two men duel but one just keeps walking. Change in palettes show the change in thought and outlook. Quietly great #PicturebookPage
