I advocate learning #FMS through #play - children's natural driver of movement. Each of the 132 activities in my book draws from dance, gymnastics, athletics, games & traditional childhood activities. Differentiation is built in. Please DM me for more details re. purchase #physed

Do not accept half a solution. Do not believe half truths. Do not dream half a dream. Do not fantasize about half hopes. Half the way will get you nowhere. You are a whole that exists to live a life, Not half a life.

Irrelevant, as if recovery from 9 months of pregnancy and childbirth while sleep deprived and feeding a newborn from your own body is irrelevant to the topic at hand.

I'd say the first priority needs to be "do no harm". If the Govian system has left us with greater disengagement, unhappiness, NEET crisis, mental health damage and suicides, THAT, and the people behind those harms (from top to bottom) need to be dealt with first.

Meanwhile, the post-Gove English school system has reduced breaktimes, reduced & deprioritised PE, and punishes moment that deviates away from SLANT rigidity. All in the name of "rigour" & "The Science of Learning™️" 🤦‍♂️🤡news-medical.net/news/202610…

Movement helps people learn complex patterns more effectively, study finds

Punching a virtual response box or swinging a virtual lightsaber can dramatically improve learning on certain tasks, according to new research from Florida Atlantic University's College of Engineer...

It's hard to get a non-partisan opinion on the potential changes because so many of the loudest voices have a vested financial interest in either the status quo or whatever the opposite of status quo currently is.

“Run free” 🏃‍♀️ “Climb trees” 🌳 “Play in mud” ☄️ P.S. There’s plenty of research on how gross motor skills improve fine motor skills (e.g. handwriting). And immune systems build via mud play. Why is this not shouted about from the top of the teaching hill? 🤔
Abroad and balanced curriculum. 🇸🇨@VerandaThought23h

You don't know how hard this hits. 😢 Looking at schools for the little man to start next Sep and the number of them who crow about phonics this, academic that. I want to scream, "He's 3! Just help him to run free, climb trees, play in mud and become a good person, pleeeease!"

Gender-neutral ways to address a group in sport/PE. Something other than 'guys'? 😉 I loved 'epic humans' - how about you? I also just use 'OK everyone' to regain a group's attention 😊 #physed #physicaleducation

My favourite alternative for primary now is “bugs” - a teacher mate told me she uses this 🤭 “Bugs” could include young children’s fascination 🐛 🐜 🐞 but secretly mean “sometimes irritating” too 😂

You can’t change a pupils behaviour with more discipline,more consequences for skills they haven’t developed yet.We need to teach them what they can do when they feel dysregulated & guide them in understanding how to develop the emotional skills they haven’t learned yet.

Absolutely bonkers this analogy. Comparing a school's exclusion rate with a hospital's mortality rate is a false equivalence. A hospital's job is to treat people who are ill 🤔a school's job is to educate children, manage behaviour & support their development Make it make sense.

While sorting my mum's house this week, I came across this article. Rose-tinted specs perhaps, but 'cookies and milk' followed by a mid afternoon nap with a blanket sounds pretty appealing🥰 @3dancingfeet @rebecca5key @llewelyn20 @VerandaThought @DHTDurrant

Yes, the surface stuff about behaviour and rules and consistency is all persuasive (and tbh fine) but the darker underpinnings are about power, authority and compulsion. It’s why they mock sociology and psychology as it shines a light into these places.

How did Tom Bennett ever get into the position he did, when this is the quality of his argument?!? 🤡🤡 As per usual, dodgy & flawed analogies to justify his legally questionable "punish first, ask questions never" mindset & proclamations. Time's up Tom. Off you pop 👋

My fear with people like Bennett is seeing naive and easily swayed ECTs or trainees taking some of his bile on board. On the surface some appears ‘good advice’ but once you dig deeper, there’s no substance to any of it
