Summary:

Mick Waters Drops In is part of a new series in which Mick Waters, ex-Director of Curriculum at QCA, uses his long experience in schools to share some of the things that make a successful school. Mick visits South Brent Primary on the edge of Dartmoor, with the help of Year 6 students Liam and Olivia. First they take him to a rapid recall maths session in Liam's class where Mick challenges the class to a multiplication duel. They sit in on Foundation Stage's fruit circle where maths and munching bananas go hand in hand. After break Mick takes part in a special puzzle event in the school hall with Year 2 maths co-ordinator Liz Fearne. Feelings are important at South Brent and pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties are able to spend time in the Woodland Den with Mrs Bishop, who also leads and mentors a group of playleaders and peer mediators. We see them busily sorting out minor quarrels and keeping younger pupils busy in the playground.
