It builds higher order thinking, questioning, speaking and listening skills.

The latest in a series of Ofsted reports to recognise the impact of Philosophy for Children in Societas Trust schools - this time it's the wonderful Summerbank Primary. You can read more about their story in this article on the @SAPERE_P4C website sapere.org.uk/2023/07/thirty…

If you're connected to the internet, can you still be alone?
This week's question made us think about the qualities of a good leader e.g. strength, resilience, kindness, and understanding.
We talked about how good leaders encouraged others and listened to others' points of view.
What qualities would you add? #p4c #thinkingskills #oracy

It is always a privilege – and a reminder of the immense gravity of the conscience of children – to witness when philosophical enquiry in the classroom #P4C gives rise to such deep moral thought.
Thank you for sharing, @ThinkingBPA.

Oracy in the National Curriculum as a separate entity? Yes! About time too. Couple that with Philosophy for Children @SAPERE_P4C and you have an enormously powerful combination to raise standards, especially for our disadvantaged children!

From out statement today: "Thirty years of advancing Philosophy for Children (P4C) has taught us that oracy is best delivered in the context of meaningful dialogue and enquiry that is skilfully facilitated by teachers and driven by young people’s curiosity."

The focus on #oracy announced by @UKLabour today offers some real hope, in part because it opens to door to #P4C. Thank you @keir_starmer, @bphillipsonmp. We look forward to joining consultation if opportunity comes, on how to implement oracy in practice. xitter.cf/SAPERE_P4C/status/1676…

We are back after lunch at the #FestivalofMetacognition thinking about executive functions.

Interesting that good discussions strive for agreement. Exploratory talk deepens thinking but children need to be taught explicitly how to do it.
Exploratory talk is inherently metacognitive. @RethinkingJames @thinkschoolcom
