The oracy journey at Burnside Primary School. Part of our PLD today is matching up Te Whare Tapa Wha with our oracy framework. Awesome mahi! @TrudiBrowne @educationhubnz #oracynz

[Trudi Browne @TrudiBrowne]

⁦@NZBreakers⁩ don’t suppose you want to come and see some five year olds while you’re in Christchurch #worthashot #burnsideprimary #bbfans

[Nic Rickard @nicrick]

Oracy mentoring groups hard at work using our poutama for assessing. It is awesome to see everyone gaining in confidence - both staff and students. @TrudiBrowne @Hood_Nina @educationhubnz #oracynz

[Simon Smith @smithsmm]

A1 Oracy should be the core of every primary school curriculum. If children can’t talk they’re very unlikely to understand it and probably won’t be able to write it #PrimaryRocks

Shay Wright has kicked #ulearn19 off with thought provoking ideas about citizenship @ULearnNZ #globalcitizenship

[Nic Rickard @nicrick]

Excited to be at #ulearn19 and even more stoked to be presenting with @TrudiBrowne. Spreading the Oracy message! #oracynz @educationhubnz

[Trudi Browne @TrudiBrowne]

Great to see the traverse being used in learning spaces to support our storytelling focus. So much talk, engaging and extending all while being inclusive and supportive #oracynz #burnsideprimaryschool @nicrick @Hood_Nina @educationhubnz

[Trudi Browne @TrudiBrowne]

Using the traverse to discuss what Oracy has been tried in learning spaces over the past three weeks. Lots of talking and gestures to share experiences #oracynz @nicrick #burnsideprimary @educationhubnz

[Trudi Browne @TrudiBrowne]

Rubrics, workshops, collaboration clubs, listening and discussion starter workshops at our latest staff meetings #oracynz @nicrick @educationhubnz #burnsideprimary

[Jo Boaler @joboaler]

Imagine if maths was taught as an art. Students would be invited to play and explore patterns & learn mathematical relationships, with no tracking, sorting or testing. We would replace fear with curiosity, equity & a love of all mathematical ideas. #Limitless

[Nic Rickard @nicrick]

@TrudiBrowne @Edutronic_Net @educationhubnz Being willing to ask for the hard feedback and thinking about what you are doing, but more importantly, why, was brave. But this is ultimately how we learn and how we make things better. A great discussion that has got my brain ticking over.

#KuaTaeTeWa It’s time.

[Nic Rickard @nicrick]

Fab to be bringing the wider staff on board and to be able to integrate their ideas to increase the capabilities of our learners. Always exciting to hear a positive buzz at staff meeting! #oracynz @educationhubnz @TrudiBrowne

[Trudi Browne @TrudiBrowne]

Trialing our Oracy assessment rubric with staff today after some great PLD from Sharne, our SLT. All off to work out what language step and conversational style our tamariki are and how we can approach conversations to support their learning. #oracynz @nicrick @educationhubnz

[Nic Rickard @nicrick]

@TrudiBrowne Fingers crossed!!
