Are you even a tourist in Sri Lanka if you don’t take the train ride across the mountains to Ella? Simply breathtaking.
It took 7 hours and 20 minutes to travel from Nanu Oya to Colombo at an average speed of 28 kmph. How long is the railway?
Try it without a calculator for a challenge :)

A busy day for the @twinklresources.bsky.social team today, particularly Danielle Davies (with a very early start to get to London) - back to back podcast filming with myself and Karen Stretch both in the studio. Hopefully the journeys home are smooth!

Today marks the release of the Francis curriculum review, and the government's response.
In this @twinklresources blog, www.twinkl.co.uk/blog/curricu..., I analyse the likely impact of the review on #SecondaryMaths teachers and departments.

The long awaited C & A review is here!
For maths, there seems to be a focus on securing fundamentals, with a new diagnostic assessment in Y8 and a new post-16 qualification for those who struggled with GCSE being the highlights.
My blog detailing the impact on secondary maths will be out soon.
