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

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
