We may still be getting used to the new ‘normal’ in schools after the recent closures, but the government are nonetheless expecting children to be provided with a ‘broad and ambitious’ curriculum. Needless to say, there are challenges ahead, especially in a subject like PE, where children are traditionally taught in close physical contact while working with one another. Children often change in poorly ventilated areas, play close contact team games, share equipment, support each other in balances and take strenuous exercise in close proximity to each other. As all of this changes, what can we do to ensure children participate in the required amount of physical exercise? Here are some ideas for increasing physical activity that you could try out or adapt in your school, while still practising some of the skills required from the PE curriculum.
