How to Move & Learn - An evidence-based guide to embedding physically active learning in your school

Bryn Llewellyn, Ian Holmes, Richard Allman

Maison d'édition: Crown House Publishing

Synopsis

Foreword by Dr Andy Daly-Smith.
We already know that increased physical activity and a reduction in the sedentary time spent sitting at desks have wide-ranging benefits (including to brain function), so what if there were also evidence that using movement in the learning process improves outcomes for children? What if we could then map out ways to support teachers in adapting their practice to make this a reality?
In How to Move & Learn Bryn Llewellyn, Ian Holmes and Richard Allman do just that - sharing the latest research from around the world and providing teachers with the means and motivation to identify opportunities to integrate movement purposefully into the teaching and learning process.
The links between health and education are paramount, and this book explores these connections and presents a wealth of ideas, activities and resources to help teachers unlock the potential of the school and outdoor environments for learning across all curriculum subjects.
Suitable for all primary school teachers and leaders.

Wisdom Of The Ages - The...

N/ N/A

Wisdom of the Ages: The Upanishads is a timeless exploration of the deepest questions human beings have ever asked about reality, the self, and the nature of truth. Emerging from the spiritual heart of ancient India, the Upanishads are not rigid doctrines but profound conversations between seekers and sages, probing what lies beneath the surface of the world and the ego. They explore the mystery of existence with quiet intensity, using poetry, paradox, and insight to point toward a reality that cannot be fully captured by words.
At the center of the Upanishads is the idea that the individual soul and the universal soul are ultimately one. The search for meaning turns inward, away from external power and ritual, toward direct awareness of consciousness itself. Desire, fear, identity, life, death, and rebirth are examined not as abstract theories but as lived experiences that shape the journey of awakening. Knowledge is presented not as information, but as realization—something that transforms the one who sees it.
The text speaks of illusion and truth, stillness and movement, attachment and freedom, showing how suffering arises from misunderstanding the self and how liberation comes through insight and inner discipline. The path described is subtle and demanding, calling for self-inquiry, ethical living, and deep meditation rather than blind belief.
Wisdom of the Ages: The Upanishads endures because it does not impose answers—it invites awakening. It remains one of humanity’s most profound records of the inward journey, offering guidance not toward dogma, but toward direct understanding of what it means to exist, to know, and to be.

Border Bloodshed - Scotland and...

Alastair J. Macdonald

Scottish military offensives against England from 1369 were largely the product of government policy, were launched with careful timing and, in the reign of Robert II, involved close co-operation with France. They succeeded militarily, encouraging the Scots to the point where they were willing to engage in attacks on England beyond the ambition of their French allies. However, diplomatic gains fell well short of forcing English recognition of Scottish independence.
Hopes of achieving this by military means were ended in the reign of Robert III when the Scots were heavily defeated in 1402. War was not solely fought with political objectives in mind or other 'rational' factors such as the quest for financial gain. The Scots went to war for emotive reasons too, such as hatred of the English, the search for renown and the sheer enjoyment of fighting. All these factors inspired the Scots to launch a series of bloody, brutal and ultimately futile offensives against England.
