Primary maths at MEI/Oak and KS2-3 transition keep me busy during the day. By night I'm often found with a violin in hand or perhaps marking a bowls match 🤔

Primary educators 👋🏻 I am interviewing teachers for a research project aimed at understanding how teachers learn from each other in the workplace. But my sample is currently very secondary heavy Could you (please!) spare me an hour of your time this week or next? It will be interesting, I promise!

Was fully intending to post something thought provoking and mathematical tonight but I've just caught a mouse that the cat was tormenting. I did have to predict the speed and angle of run to know where to drop the box over it ... Does that count? #MouseToday
