I’m excited to share that I was featured on PE Insights by PE Scholar, where we discussed my teaching journey and how it led me to specialize in Primary PE. In this episode, I talk about discovering the transformative power of storytelling in Physical Education and its profound impact on engaging young learners. We explore my transition into teaching PE for Key Stage 1 (KS1) and Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) students, as well as why storytelling has become such a valuable tool in my approach.
I also shared practical tips for educators on integrating storytelling into their lessons to create immersive, meaningful experiences that captivate students’ imaginations.
- Try New Things: Don’t be afraid to experiment with new activities and approaches in your teaching. Even if you’re comfortable with your current methods, trying something new can reinvigorate your passion and creativity.
- Seek Help and Collaborate: Reach out for help or ideas from others. Teaching can sometimes feel isolating, but collaboration can provide fresh perspectives and solutions.
- Build Networks: Developing a network of fellow PE teachers is essential. These connections can offer support, ideas, and opportunities for professional growth. Social media and professional conferences are excellent platforms for networking.
Tune in to the episode to hear more about my journey, insights, and advice for bringing PE to life in primary settings!
