Whether you’re popping down to your local supermarket or tuning into your favourite radio station, you can’t avoid the event on everybody’s radar. We’re talking about Sports Relief of course. Speaking of radio – as you probably know, we spend a lot of time on the road, travelling from one school to another. Much of our drive time is spent …
It’s THAT time of the year! SATs SATs SATs and a journey down memory lane with this interesting article, ‘How to Avoid a Primary Maths Meltdown’ in the TES by Joshua Levinson, Head Teacher at a primary school in south London.

“All I need is a sheet of paper and something to write with, and then I can turn the world upside down,” according to Friedrich Nietzsche. A bold statement from a bold person and the words ring true. Words have a massive impact and there is no denying it. Words are the things that shape our lives, shape who we …
Two weeks can seem like a long time for children. Their attention spans are generally shorter than adults, therefore it can sometimes seem like a difficult task to keep them entertained. Especially over the Easter Holidays when they could also be hyped up on easter egg chocolate which doesn’t really help matters. However, fear not. Tagtiv8 have come up with …

So we’re jumping on the bobsleigh with everyone else …
Tagtiv8 spend a lot of time on the road – not with an A to Z these days, but with Google Maps. This week was somewhat bizarre – it turned out that we were only invited to visit places beginning with B. A happy coincidence? Maybe. However, definitely a good excuse to share what we have been doing… Tagtiv8’s Travels …

No wonder many succumb to the January Blues. However, our January has been quite different this year. We really feel like we have hit the ground running in 2018. January …
It is now 6 years since we left the world of teaching full time in order to devote ourselves to supporting schools with active learning approaches. We miss the day-to-day work and friendships within our own schools, but we know that Tagtiv8 now impacts across even more schools – with more children, more active, more often. It is great that …
Last week, we continued with our New Year’s Resolution theme and focused on promoting a healthier lifestyle at school. This week, in our final blog on the topic, we will be focusing on how you can live a healthier lifestyle after school.
