128. Sport Is Not PE (And PE Is Not Sport) with Kelly Bell
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever wondered how you’re meant to fit meaningful movement into an already packed school day?In this energising conversation, we sit down with Kelly Bell to unpack PDHPE and how it looks on a daily basis at school.
Kelly helps us rethink what quality physical education actually looks like, and why it matters so much for every child, not just the “sporty ones”.
We also explore how classroom teachers can confidently integrate movement through simple brain breaks and intentional activity, even without specialist training.
In This Episode, We Chat About:
- Why sport and physical education are often confused
- What high-quality PE actually aims to develop
- The mindset shift classroom teachers need around movement
- How brain breaks can transform focus, regulation and learning
- Simple ways to integrate movement into your classroom without adding to your workload
- Why sport or PE isn’t a reward
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not sporty enough to teach this well,” this episode will shift your perspective in the best way.
Rainbows ahead,
Alisha and Ashleigh
