Tower Hamlets Oracy Hub

We talked about 'Oracy' for BBC Radio 4 Word of Mouth we recorded today. I was talking to Amy Gaunt from Voice 21. Listen out for it on @BBCRadio4 @OracyCambridge @oracycommission @OracyTH @TheOracyHub @ChsOracy

We continued this year’s focus on’ inclusive oracy classrooms’ this afternoon with a fantastic workshop on oracy and EAL. An inspiring and empowering session to round off the term for our hub.

Year 4 and 5 have been doing fantastic work with great outcomes around performance in poetry this week. We are really proud of how engaged our pupils have been and how they have developed their presentational oracy. @OracyTH

What a year as a hub, culminating in a fantastic event at City Hall, with teachers presenting research projects around the ways that oracy can enrich learning across the curriculum. Huge thanks to @klparadine of @voice21oracy for her inspiring keynote speech. @_THEpartnership

Well said! theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

An excellent article to coincide with #InternationalWomensDay “Diminished Voices”: Why is it important to focus on oracy when educating girls? oracycambridge.org/diminished-voi…

Another fantastic hub session this afternoon, refining our collaborative research projects exploring how oracy can impact learning across the curriculum.

Great work team!

This year’s Hub project is in full swing, with teams of Tower Hamlets teachers working together to develop oracy practice across the curriculum. Research is underway into how oracy can enrich learning and outcomes in Maths, History, English, Art and Science!

We had another fantastic network meeting today. Our Hub project this year is truly up and running, with teams of teachers working collaboratively to develop oracy practice in different curriculum subjects - history, English, maths, science and art.

Some excellent reflections from @OracyCambridge on @oracycommission's game-changing report. The Oracy Cambridge response to the Oracy Education Commission report oracycambridge.org/we-need-to-tal…

The launch of the @oracycommission report ‘We Need to Talk’ is an important moment in oracy education. We are so proud that two children from one of our hub schools @CubittTownPri spoke at the launch, representing the culture of oracy in Tower Hamlets schools. @_THEpartnership

We need to talk about...the benefits of oracy education beyond the classroom. October 8, We need to talk.

Our Oracy Hub is back for 2024/25. Over 30 Tower Hamlets primaries collaborating to enrich oracy learning and teaching across the borough! This year we’re working in teams to ‘turn great talk into great learning’ in a range of subjects including maths, science, art and history!

As the new term begins, for anyone interested in oracy, this is well worth a read.

What a way to end another amazing year of collaboration as a hub. A huge congratulations to all of the schools who were presented with bronze and silver oracy awards today. Looking forward to even bigger and better things next year!

What an achievement! Well done team 👏

We are proud to present our new pack of cross-curricular oracy lessons, created by Tower Hamlets teachers for KS1 & KS2. Each lesson has a written plan & flipchart.
