talk about "committee thinking". WHOSE stupid idea was it to change "English" and "Maths" to "literacy" and "numeracy"? They aren't subjects or lesson titles fgs. It sounds crap.

AIBUIYO?

But the children will always say 'we did [whatever]' won't they? 'we done the normans miss, we dunnem last year'

I prefer literacy and numeracy tbh - suggests an actual aim in view.

Oh god I so agree. They say 'we did literacy this morning' and I want to say, 'what do you mean? You DID literacy? You can't DO literacy. You sound illiterate.'
