Mr Met PE 🇬🇧

We are so proud of Millie in her dance competition yesterday 🥇 Solo Disco 🥇 Lyrical 🥇 Team 🥈 Double disco 🥉 Rock & Roll 🥉 Adult & Child Rock & Roll Millie can’t wait to show her friends & teachers her awards🏆 @StAloysiusL36 @MrMetPE

@m_chiles Would be keen to contribute on anything around the ‘hinge’ questioning moment of the lesson 📚

***CALL FOR TEACHERS *** I’m looking short classroom snapshots of approx 100-150 words from teachers on different aspects of questioning for my new book 😊 If you’re interested please comment below and I’ll DM you 👇

@alexdillon33 Depends how much action goes past it- every couple of months for me. The app will tell you when it’s running low to recharge too

@PEgeekscorner @XpatEducator @KateJones_teach @Inner_Drive @MrThorntonTeach @MrAWGordon_ @SFL2326 @PaulCline_psy @Carousel_Learn @TeachSecondary @MissTealePE @mrsangovePE @MrFallickPE @mrfitzhist MWB are the go to for ease - except we use our own personalised ‘hinge’ board to allow quick answer of ABCD with space for further knowledge. Also good making it competitive with a totaliser at the top!

On the back of some outstanding work on retrieval from @XpatEducator and @KateJones_teach collaboration with @Inner_Drive I am doing an infographic article on best retrieval practice in the classroom. What is your go to RP? Top 6 to be showcased 🙏 @MrThorntonTeach @MrAWGordon_

@PEgeekscorner @MrAWGordon_ @PearceMrs @davidfawcett27 @MeaningfulSport @WannaTeachPE @Stephen_Logan @GmorrisMrs @LearnerLedLdr @SFL2326 I use ‘hinge boards’ - essentially a whiteboard with a tick box for A,B,C,D for quick answers. The remaining white space allows them to explain any further knowledge in addition to what the question asked to further discussion. Also has space to track how many correct answers.

Multiple choice coming up consistently with effective retrieval practice. How do you use MCQ. Can they be interactive, can they be varied? Do you have a template or go to software? Responses much appreciated @MrAWGordon_ @PearceMrs @davidfawcett27 @MeaningfulSport @WannaTeachPE

@WannaTeachPE @pe PE teachers: What’s the earliest an opponent has turned up for a school game? I’ll go first… a month! 📆

Looking forward to launching our modified version of peer coaching in the department this week whilst giving 2 fantastic aspiring leaders added responsibility. Inspired by @Doug_Lemov and @WALKTHRUs_5 - must reads if you haven't already!

@alexdillon33 Go for it Alex

@jp_davis11 @WannaTeachPE @PEgeekscorner @DMorgan_PE @TeachMeetPE Love this idea but not allowed. How do you find it works with students who may not be able to afford a kit? What do they do if they lose something?

@MrMetPE @WannaTeachPE @PEgeekscorner @DMorgan_PE @TeachMeetPE In Ireland during the pandemic we have went to the following system - students wear their PE kit into school & remain in it for the day - participation has never been better & it eliminates changing room issues as they are not used

@mikeyh1983 @WannaTeachPE @PEgeekscorner @DMorgan_PE @TeachMeetPE Like your point about wasting other students time…out of interest if a student refuses everything do they stay in the lesson in uniform or are they taken elsewhere?

@MrMetPE @WannaTeachPE @PEgeekscorner @DMorgan_PE @TeachMeetPE My approach to this is to promote the positive behaviour. Classes/students that have 100% records are rewarded. House points, use of gym hall at lunches etc. Encourage those who forget, give feedback in reports, but I don’t waste energy and time of others by fighting a battle

@leading_in_Ed @PEgeekscorner @WannaTeachPE @DMorgan_PE @TeachMeetPE Thanks Simon. If teacher strategies don’t work in that moment does the child stay in the lesson in uniform or are they removed? Thanks

@MissHill_1 @PEgeekscorner @WannaTeachPE @DMorgan_PE @TeachMeetPE Thanks for the response - so if they continue to refuse are they removed from that lesson or do they remain and get the isolation another time? Thanks

@MrMetPE @PEgeekscorner @WannaTeachPE @DMorgan_PE @TeachMeetPE Unsure if it’s classed as good practice, but we give them 5 minutes to make a decision to borrow the kit knowing that if they are on called it’s isolation for 3 periods and a Friday after school DT.

👏👏👏

@RichieAshdown @PEandpedagogy @SimonCr79926483 @WannaTeachPE @Planet_PE Completely unsustainable idea from SLT - can’t imagine the DT department handing out metal toe cap boots for one student dropping a hammer on their toe. Impact on workload & thus learning will be huge - perhaps try 2 pitches for those with boots/shinpads & those without?

@PEandpedagogy @SimonCr79926483 @WannaTeachPE @Planet_PE An injury has led to a knee jerk reaction. I’m all for H&S but concerned about the impact as SLT have said anyone not wearing them cannot participate. I’m thinking of extra curricular/inter house/random lessons when the field is frozen and we swap to Football

Do you ask your students to wear shin pads for PE lessons in Football? Seems like we’re going to have to enforce it now and intrigued about the barriers we might face @WannaTeachPE @PEandpedagogy @Planet_PE

@PEgeekscorner @teacherhead @olicav Apologies - only just came across this somehow! Happy to send over if you DM me you -email 📧

@MrMetPE @teacherhead @olicav This is fabulous, would you mind sharing. Love this idea 👏👏

Fantastic set of master classes organised by @teacherhead 👏 Lots of key take-aways that will greatly impact T&L! Caught the dual coding bug after seeing the master @olicav in action - inspired 1st attempt of organising ideas for school PE kit reboot below! 🏫

@LiamDeeryPE I can’t see them happening before the next half-term which is such a shame!

@MissW_PE_13 @WannaTeachPE @PEgeekscorner @PE_MissG @MrsLWalkerPE1 @HinchliffePe Will also depend on the brief they give you and their department philosophy on their website etc as schools teach very differently to each other

@MissW_PE_13 @WannaTeachPE @PEgeekscorner @PE_MissG @MrsLWalkerPE1 @HinchliffePe Smooth transitions E.g. can you move to next progression simply by changing the rule or removing cones etc to cut down on talking time. Would also want some differentiation so maybe 2 different tasks going on for different ability or different rule for the more able…
