The chapter on health and well-being at Kensington Primary School, the stuff that they're doing there with physical education and the kids can wear trainers and tracksuits.
Let's not open up the uniform thing.
And they've got some really encouraging data that their kids are way more active than the national average, certainly much more than the Newham average, which is amazing.
So a lovely chapter on lunchtime stuff, Opal and what have you by Tim Stainer.
Your chapter on play-based learning, Sarah, is so rich and we could get into all of that.
Outdoor learning as well, there's loads of stuff here.
But I want to fast forward, if we can, to...
The first chapter in the assessment section, which is about how can we teach and assess transferable competencies?
Again, my ears pricked up because I was like, I've wrestled with this for so many years.
And I basically concluded that you can't.
And so I was interested to see what Robert had to say about this.
And he basically agrees.
He sort of landed in almost exactly the same place that I did, that you have some self-assessment.
It's largely formative.
You can use learner profiles as a way to have learner-led conferencing and so on.
But it doesn't fit on a spreadsheet.
It's really hard to measure.
And that's a problem in itself, right?
Because we treasure what we measure, as it were.
And if the things that are hard to measure, this is a problem that Oracy has struggled with for years.
