Take a moment to read this inspiring interview by Neil Phillipson with Claire Smith of Oaklands Nursery. I love the detail and examples of children’s reasoning and thinking about concepts. It’s also great to hear of an Ofsted report which notices and values oracy and thinking skills, including children’s listening, and the way that children were open to changing their point of view.
