“Just get them outside – get them giggling and laughing…” Not the usual request we get from head teachers for a Tagtiv8 CPD Training Day. But hey, Chris Dyson is not your usual head teacher. Neither is his school – Parklands Primary School in Leeds. The presentation slides were put to one side and we took the training beyond the …
How excited are Team Tagtiv8? We are beyond giddy! Our ‘Move & Learn Maths’ resources have been so successful, they sold out last term. Cue much deliberation as to the new look, content and sustainability. Why did we decide to change the original design? We listened to teachers and more importantly, the children.

Last week we received an email and a nudge from Moki – the team committed to Moving Kids! Coincidentally, driving to Bristol to participate in the Wesport annual PE & Sport conference we listened to the latest podcast from Ryan at the PE Umbrella – which featured James, co-founder of Moki! What followed was one pearl of wisdom after another. …
Christmas is officially over! How do we know? The adverts for holidays in 2020 are already upon us – in abundance! One advert in particular took us back to a particular holiday in Greece – when we visited the site of the first modern Olympics in Athens. From UK to Greece and Back Panathenaic Stadium tour over, we unpacked some …
One week on from Helsinki Education Week and the HundrED Summit and Tagtiv8 are still buzzing! Why? It’s all about people – with connections between creative ideas and innovations. It’s sometimes hard to explain the HundrED ethos and community, but we think Derek Newton has summed it up brilliantly in this Forbes magazine article. There were so many highlights: Discovering …
