Bowling is often included in Physical Education because it’s a fun and accessible activity that promotes various physical skills like hand-eye coordination, balance, muscle strength, and can be adapted for different abilities, making it suitable for students of all levels while also providing a good workout through the act of lifting and rolling a bowling ball.

If Physical Education is the school subject that prioritises the learning about, in and through movement, then PE Teachers need to understand what learning is and isn’t. A helpful clarification is the distinction made between performance and learning.

In a prevous blog here I began to look at concept based curriculum model for physical education as an alternative to a multi-activity curriculum model. A multi-activity curriculum model typically has short 3-to-5-week duration units of work. In this curriculum design there is insufficient time for the volume of practice required through deliberate play and practice to master technical and tactical skills of an activity to the level where a student previously not playing the sport can reach at le

Sharing an important letter (linked here), signed by the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) along with 64 organizations and allies of the Medicaid in Schools Coalition. It was submitted to Congress on February 17, 2025, as an urgent appeal to our lawmakers to protect Medicaid from the proposed cuts. Medicaid plays a vital role in supporting the health and educational success of vulnerable children, particularly those with disabilities and those living in poverty.

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

School sport participation can be a conversation conundrum. I know many people don't have positive experiences with sport. I reckon that the research shows this is how the coach and others 'construct' and input into the sport environment rather than being inherent to sport itself. Some don't develop the confidence in their competence to continue to pursue being physically active through sport when they enter adolesence.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

One of the things I enjoy most in Physical Education is being able to find and create activities that have the students active the entire time and not realize it. I find that when there is just a lot of running, some students get super tired quickly or lose interest even faster. I created a unit in my curriculum solely to do aerobics games and one of those activities is Aerobic Bowling from SPARK.

When a physical education teacher can’t be in class, whether due to illness, professional development, or personal matters, the show must go on. Effective PE sub plans are essential to ensure that students continue to engage in meaningful physical activity no matter who is leading the class. Well-thought-out PE sub plans not only help maintain the flow of the class but also ensure that students stay active, motivated, and safe, even in the PE teachers absence.
