ABSTRACT

Provides an approach to teaching physical education at Key Stages 1 and 2, for non-specialist primary school teachers who have limited training and experience in this area. The text aims to encourage teachers to raise standards of provision, and to know why from a physiological perspective. Practical physical activity ideas for PE are provided, with emphasis on the inclusion of stamina, strength, suppleness and weight control, why they are important and how they interlink. It is written in light of the revised National Curriculum orders for physical education.
