In #MathsToday I have been looking at where my department are in terms of developing oracy skills. I found that many activities lend themselves to discussion work naturally but that not all pupils engage in these discussions and not all pupils demonstrate authentic listening skills.

In #mathstoday I had my year 8s sit back to back, then one partner had to describe the circle diagram and the other had to draw it from the description. We then formally introduced each of the parts of a circle and used our correct vocabulary for the white rose task. #oracy #voice21
✨ At Voice 21, we’re on a mission to create an ‘Oracy Generation’ who have speaking, listening and communication skills woven throughout their entire school life 🗣️

@robdrummond.bsky.social at the Voice North East Oracy Exhibition today:
"Our speech is a presentational performance of who we are"
"We create a sense of belonging through the language & words we use"
"Identity exists somewhere between the speaker & listener"

A great question asked by a student at the Voice North East Oracy Exhibition today 👇
❓How will oracy look for my siblings when they grow up?
@kateparadine.bsky.social:
"Your siblings will be part of an oracy generation who use their voice to work and thrive" 🙌
#Voice21 #oracy #voiceNE
Answers in response to student questions - we have big ambitions how will #oracy support us in our future?
Alex at Kings Priory:
"The aim of oracy at our school is psychological safety, to feel confident to challenge & question the world around you."

We've now gone into Oracy Question Time with Andrew Garrard from The North East Combined Authority, @kateparadine.bsky.social and oracy leads from Kings Priory School ✨

The Voice North East Oracy Exhibition 2025, taking place today, is a celebration of oracy in the North East and a showcase of the incredible work which has taken place across new and established Voice 21 Oracy Schools 🎊
#Voice21 #oracy #voiceNE
🌟 As part of the Voice North East project, we’re proud to say we’ve trained 226 teachers in oracy, improving the quality of oracy teaching and learning to 19,000 students within 95 schools, across the North East 🙌
#Voice21 #oracy #voiceNE
🗣️ Two years ago, in conjunction with the North East Combined Authority, we set out to drive change across the region: ensuring speaking, listening and communication - oracy - is given the same status as literacy and numeracy in state schools.
#Voice21 #oracy #voiceNE
Oracy isn’t just about speaking clearly — it’s also about listening with intent.
Macro vs Micro: the speaker’s message, purpose and emotion vs picking up on exact words, phrasing.
🧠 Great oracy depends on switching between the two.
#Oracy #Teaching #Talk #Voice21 #listening #education #success
Empowering our students with #Oracy skills not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them to thrive in an AI-transformed job market. Let's make speaking and listening a fundamental part of the curriculum 🌟 #Oracycambridge #FutureReady
#Voice21
Excited to see #oracy transforming our primary classrooms! Following audit by @topsypage.bsky.social, we began with the agreed language of 'respectful listening' - pupil attention has improved! Speaking for purpose builds confidence & deepens learning
