Defending is my next theme with a focus on delaying, body position & patience as they dive in A LOT.

Would appreciate thoughts on my rough outline and coaching points.

@ThePEUmbrella @WannaTeachPE Depends on what you want to do afterwards:

If ability will impact then ask them to sit one of three lines 1. Being confident 2. Little confident and 3. Not confident. With the caveat that I may move them if we need more of some areas.

You’ll get 10/10/10 then split in half 👌🏻

@HeathrowAirport I hope Heathrow are already to give out compensation as there are a lot of people missing flights

Session today with the @themoderndaygk original VOS gloves. Haven’t used them for a few seasons due to time but man they are awesome. Really have to concentrate and have to say dropped the off one which was way better than when I first wore them! Love them!

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

@tannernickel Just read this and great content and total get your reflections at the end

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

Found these at my parents house, what a Sunday that was! Great footballing experience too! @AGSHeadmaster @AGSSportandPE @AGSFootball

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

@themoderndaygk @jasper_sheik By any chance is the guy catching wearing your training gloves!? 🧐😂

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

@movementcoachkm @themoderndaygk @dannynewcombe Could you add fun to that 😁

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

@BenShields2 @WannaTeachPE @HeadsUpHPE @PE_Insights_Pod @pe_swimming Head, shoulders, tummy, bottom - give it a try! Moves the hands away from under the catching object. And kids crack up when you have to tap your bum then catch

Starting tomorrow:
Net and Wall games have common tactical strategies - is our line of inquiry.
Starting out with exposure, rotation of seven different games, all with ways to differentiate with equipment.
GIFs made for each one which when filmed turned competitive 😂

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

@Wallace_PhysEd Great for badminton when you don’t have enough courts for everyone to play. Set up a BAM skill station like a flick serve and they can self assess.

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

Concept Based Inquiry sequence on Net and Wall games coming soon. Excited to see how the students engage with the variety of games. Aim is to expose students to different games and see if they can make connections between skills, rules, attacking & defending concepts.

@BenShields2 @Lee_Sullivan85 @VicksRandallEdu @pe_swimming @MrCampbell_PE @aylward_abroad @WannaTeachPE @carmelhealth @LifeIsAthletic @LizDurdenMyers @LockettMeg As it’s PYP could you not try to link in with other UOI’s obviously depends on what they’re doing in the class. But How We Express Ourselves could be a good one? Synchro/dance or synchronised diving?
Or How The World Works an inquiry into water resistance? efficiency of movement?

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

@BenShields2 Mine was ‘Leading Sport in School’ content was great and discussions really good to hear what other people are doing internationally.
However, lectures became a pain when clocks when back in the UK ended up as 9:00pm start. My problem was switching off as they got me thinking.

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

@themoderndaygk He should retire only downhill after that!

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

As a specialist, its all PE! I have time to plan more engaging, thought provoking and enjoyable lessons. My teaching of PE is soooo much better than it used to be! Foster should look at the model international primary school take with specialist PE lessons.

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

How can the UK Gov expect a change in PE when it is not seen as a priority for class teachers. Surely, employing a full time specialist is a far better model. As a former class teacher in UK, I understand PE was never top of the list. Due to demands elsewhere.

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

@carolhawman The push for girls football should come outside of curriculum time. With the aim for enjoyment over anything else.

Curriculum wise I don’t think you can go far wrong with the PYP approach. The emphasis is no so much the skills but the connected social learning.

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

@themoderndaygk @BenFoster mentioned this recently, he said a lot of the keepers in the Prem would struggle in the National League. Mainly due to the physically and style of play.

[Pete Smith @SmithPeter85]

The hunt for the @BBCR1 DJs got me thinking back to when my wife met Long Duck! Would love a shout out @gregjames as she’ll be listening
