I have just seen a tweet that claims oracy is a progressive form of teaching. Allowing students to debate, give persuasive speech or even a teacher keeping a log of when a student uses the correct t linguistic term as part of the ‘we do’ section is seen as progressive

Oh no Emma. Poor little guy. I lost my Ted this year. Not from an accident but old age. He was living with my mum &I knew in February when I came back to Peru it would be the last time I saw him. That dog saved my life more times than he should have.

When it is dress up as someone inspired by who our school is named after Clements Markham, an ‘explorer’, or writer…Markham was president of the @RGS_IBG back in the day… so I told my daughter she can dress up as me 😂
