Why does storytelling matter to you? Is your school full of stories?
We love to see this! Storytelling connects!
Lovely to see that Mr Wiggle has travelled to Uganda - the way in which story binds us together as one human race.

And we’re off … Thanks to members of the @oracycommission for today’s energising first meeting. Watch this space.
@MrZachG You will already know all about story stepping to jnternalise structure of stories? If not @Storytellingsch are big proponents.
Really hesitated before sharing this yesterday. It got a really lovely response, so am sharing again. Published on my blog too: joshuaseigalpoet.blogspot.com/2024/03/ocd.ht… feel free to share #mentalhealth #OCD #poetry
What are essential parts of a rounded oracy education? ○ effective pair and group talk ○ storytelling ○ debate skills ○ presentation skills ○ register shifts What did we miss? @MaryMyatt @Counsell_C @LeoraCruddas @voice21oracy
Our brains are uniquely wired for story - @MaryMyatt lays out the argument for a curriculum based on high quality texts and shares ideas for practice. Stories to help us learn more, remember more and do more. 2024 is the year of the story! films.myattandco.com/programs/helpi…
Discover the power of storytelling in curriculum learning with insights from @MaryMyatt. Unveil how stories enrich understanding and deepen learning. Watch full video here: films.myattandco.com/programs/helpi… @stevewillshaw @creativeHigg
'One of the oldest tricks in the education book still works: storytelling (btw, great research-design)' Great post from @thebandb via @TeacherTapp theeconomyofmeaning.com/2021/01/04/one…
We couldn't agree more. Writing, reading - thinking even - rests on a sea of talk. Oracy is the beating heart of real education and storytelling is an essential part of oracy.

Wow: @Counsell_C just delivered an amazing session about the fundamental role of story which 'casts a spell' on children through world-building and their heightened attention. She explored the sematic gravity of vocabulary knowledge enhanced through stories #rEDBrum
Are you a teacher who loves the outdoors and would like to spend a weekend exploring wild swimming in Wales? Get in touch. I imagine some swims, some food, some camp fires and some deepening friendships. Sound good to you? #EduSwim
Nursery child last week: Richard why is your hair grey? Me: Well...because sometimes when you get older it just goes grey and you get these things called wrinkles too. I like both of them though NC: I like my hair Me: That's good because it's beautiful NC: Yours is beautiful ❤️
@Storytellingsch @therroneill Love to bring some of my Impossible Tales to life, especially the ones that make the children laugh. Props essential. Who doesn’t love a crime-fighting wig?!
@Storytellingsch @dan__worsley @therroneill For me it's either Qassim the Divided, or The Three Wishes. I love a story I can tell to people of any age, infant to adult, and know it will hold their attention, entertain and spark conversation.
Do you love telling stories? What's your 'drop of a hat' story that you can tell anywhere, any time and know it will go over like dynamite? #Storytelling @dan__worsley @therroneill

Lovely to see that Mr Wiggle has travelled to Uganda - the way in which story binds us together as one human race.
Back from an incredible couple of weeks in Uganda. Here’s 1 of many highlights. Teaching the children language through story telling. Loved this story the 1st time I heard Pie retelling it. The children in Uganda loved it too! @PieCorbett #English #oracy
And we’re off … Thanks to members of the @oracycommission for today’s energising first meeting. Watch this space.
Excited to announce the new No Outsiders resource is published one month today -“No Outsiders: We Belong Here” is available from April 18th! I’m overjoyed to see the brilliant logo designed by @DWearing1972 on the cover too!
This lecture will be very insightful. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting @hakimadi1 at a British Museum Conference on teaching African Diaspora Histories and I'm learning so much from his book latest book, African & Caribbean People in Britain: A History
Shortlisted for the 2023 #WolfsonHistoryPrize, @hakimadi1 will deliver the prestigious annual @BritishAcademy_ Public Lecture on 'Affirming the History of African and Caribbean People in Britain' at @LeedsUniAHC on Friday 22 March. Find out more 🔽 eventbrite.co.uk/e/british-acad…
@Storytellingsch @dan__worsley Thanks for explaining the origin. I think it's really helpful to have the background and context.
@Storytellingsch @WCShearer @MrEFinch Great pic, Ed. Awe, wonder & a captivated audience - what we all aim for when weaving our stories 👍💫
I already posted this picture but I'm still thinking about yesterday. I sat thinking during the whole day how appropriate the words behind the speakers were about the #OURfPConf and the amazing work so many do for RfP. 'Joy' and 'Together we can make a change'. 😊
Really hesitated before sharing this yesterday. It got a really lovely response, so am sharing again. Published on my blog too: joshuaseigalpoet.blogspot.com/2024/03/ocd.ht… feel free to share #mentalhealth #OCD #poetry
I started World Book Day @WorldBookDayUK celebrations at St Paul's Catholic Primary with poems & stories by Jamaican folklorist Louise Bennett Coverly. So lovely to share #Caribbeanculture with them. They loved it! #WorldBookDay
@Storytellingsch @dan__worsley @therroneill I love telling stories - especially trickster tales from my African & Caribbean heritage. Can you share where or who this photo is taken of?
@pdLouiseP @stoneman_claire My sister had this to say about the comparison: Well Alice you do need to up your plaid competes with geometric patterns game next
@AVisserFuray @stoneman_claire That is quite wonderful Alice!
My Dad was a History Prof for decades (died in 2012). When @stoneman_claire captured this photo of me yesterday presenting at #rEDBrum, I thought my way of using hands & expressions seemed similar; my sisters found a photo. It makes me happy&proud to be following in his footsteps

A curriculum should leave pupils bursting to talk – having something to say, a burning to desire to communicate it, confident oral expression, wide vocabulary, skill in argument and a will to listen. The @oracycommission launches today. I'm delighted to be a commissioner.
“Spoken language opens doors to new knowledge, transforms our ability to learn effectively, and reaffirms some of the most important skills needed in a vibrant democracy – to disagree agreeably & listen critically": today's launch of the @oracycommission: buff.ly/3IFqliO
