I think that lots of schools have recognised the difficulties that small children have with staying still and have moved on from the model of expecting children to sit still and face the front all day. At Yasin's school they are seated in groups of 4 around square tables and when it's time to listen they get up and sit in a circle on the floor then go back to their tables. They play lots of learning games that have movement in them and so on too.

I thought that lots of what he had to say about role models and learning to be men was fantastic.

Now it looks a bit mixed up
