A super day down in Dartford today with Cygnus Academies Trust.
All schools, all staff, all thinking deeply about how learning happens with younger learners across the primary phase.
Thank you for having me!

There are no children deficit in screen time in this country but plenty who don’t have rich opportunities for play, which is critical for healthy human development.
Being part of this national steering group is a highlight of my work within primary.

Loving the wide ranging curriculum projects I'm leading at the moment. One of my favourite elements of my work.

I'll be speaking for the very 1st time at Wellington this year. I'll be over in Great School building on the Friday with lots of the Walkthrus & In Action team. I'll be talking about some of my very favourite things - age, stage & the importance of these in the primary curriculum. Do come & say hi.

100% Amen to this.

Just wondering how Chen will be spending the bank holiday? Maybe buying a hundred pineapples? Scaling a recipe for a random number of guests? Or perhaps constructing a graph type that no statistician on earth has ever used before in the entire history of mathematics? #IYKYK 😉😁

Looking for a speaker? Feedback from yesterday's international session, accessed by hundreds of educators from across 5 continents. So pleased that the blend of research alongside a genuine love of working with young children came across. Thank you to all who attended!

If you study "Toys" as a unit in KS1, one aspect to highlight that I rarely see is that Steiff bears were developed by Margarete Steiff, who was a woman and a wheelchair user. A chance for children to study the history of technology and innovation through her life and work.

This is such an important consideration when thinking about how learning happens.
It's not about being a luddite or a technophobe or being wedded to the past, or not embracing change; it's about recognising that handwriting has a markedly different impact on the brain.

"Childhood is no longer the sanctuary it once was, & child-led play is no longer recognized as the cornerstone of healthy growth. Instead, play is often viewed as a mere respite from learning rather than the biological necessity it truly is, on par with food, shelter,& safety."

Looking forward to joining a session run by Norfolk Research School this Wednesday to discuss embodied cognition, including practical examples of what this looks like in the classroom.
