Primary physical education specialist
Liam Dawes
A prompt or checklist can help pupils reflect on a skill, but it should not reduce physical education to a written task.

I teach Physical Education as a specialist across the primary phase. I want pupils to have regular opportunities to move, practise and build confidence in different activities. A clear routine can help everyone understand how to begin and what to focus on, while the teacher adapts the task to the group.
In a practical lesson, the details of participation matter. Pupils need space to try a movement, repeat it and notice what feels different. I look for ways to make instructions concise and expectations visible, so attention can stay on the activity rather than on working out what to do next.
I value resources that support a purposeful sequence and leave room for different starting points. A prompt or checklist can help pupils reflect on a skill, but it should not reduce physical education to a written task. I want learning to be active, with a question that helps pupils connect practice, effort and the next move they choose to make.
How I approach a lesson
Make the starting routine and task focus clear.
Give pupils space to practise and notice change.
Use reflection to inform the next movement or skill.
