In this episode of The PE Umbrella podcast I am joined by Dominic Tollan for a wide-ranging conversation about what primary PE is really for, and what we might be missing when we reduce it to sport and physical skills.
We talk about the role of the primary teacher, the lasting impact of COVID-19 on children's movement experiences, and why fundamental movement skills still matter, but perhaps not in the way we sometimes think they do.
We also explore the Make Time for PE campaign and the case for giving primary PE the time, attention and support it deserves. Along the way, we have a really interesting conversation about the relationship between play and PE, and whether we've sometimes made children's movement experiences more complicated than they need to be.
We also get into something that sits at the heart of The PE Umbrella: purpose. Why are we teaching PE in the first place? What do we want children to take from it? And how might a clearer sense of purpose influence the confidence, enjoyment and engagement we see in our lessons?
It's a conversation about confidence, purpose, play, movement and enjoyment and a reminder that primary PE has the potential to influence far more than what a child can physically do.
So what are you waiting for? Come and join us under The PE Umbrella
