Tagtiv8 love playing and working with like-minded people, who want to make a real difference in the UK and abroad. When we were approached by Lauren Asquith from Derby County Community Trust about supporting her work in Kenya, we jumped at the chance, especially as the visit involved promotion of physical activity and play. What follows is an email from Lauren …
You have probably seen us post about TEDxNorwichED on our various social media channels a few times this week. Well, it’s been for a very good reason… The selected speakers offered a broad approach to what education will (hopefully) look like in the future, building on ways we can improve the educational system currently in place. Does this not remind …
With the weather brightening up this week, we don’t want to make you dwell on the horrible rain that seems to be in the rearview mirror. However, it really is for a good reason. Save The Children are encouraging nurseries, families and schools to take part in Peppa Pig’s Muddy Puddle Walk to raise money for the amazing charity. The …
Last week, we shared with you our opinion on Sugar Tax, which is designed to help tackle childhood obesity. We are pleased that money raised by the tax will go into education via the Primary PE and Sports Premium. However, there are also other ways to help tackle childhood obesity. Tagtiv8 approached Leeds Beckett University to test out our active …
This week we were signposted to an interesting article, ‘How to Avoid a Primary Maths Meltdown’ in the TES by Joshua Levinson, a Deputy Head Teacher at a primary school in south London. In the article, he states: “If we want students to enjoy maths, we need to remember why we are teaching it in the first place.” Reading the …
At Tagtiv8, we are used to playing in classrooms, in PE halls, in MUGAs and of course in the playground. In theory, a library is not a location that we would usually consider appropriate for our active learning games. Running and jumping around does not mix well with old and sometimes delicate books and shushing librarians generally. So it’s a …
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 …
We know that January can often be a dull and dark month. Christmas festivities in the rearview mirror and dark nights and mornings feel like they’re here to stay forever. 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. In the winter months, it is too easy to come home in the dark, eat stodgy comfort food …
