Great episode Nathan & Ben. Interesting to hear how things are done in Aus! Some reflective Q’s I’ve considered from your chat: - Do topics, like nutrition, belong in PE as can’t be taught through the physical? - Is it still PE if taught in a classroom? Brilliant stuff!

Thanks @NWalkerPE for having me. Absolute pleasure to chat about my perspective on PE, or should I say HPE! Good to get to the bottom of what an oval is too!

Just watched #Severance - mind blown! Just for Fun, Teachers - would you want to ‘sever’ for work? If so why? Great TV by the way and if you have no idea what I’m taking about, Google!

Ep. 36 ft @BenShields2 We spoke about his International Teaching journey, ‘connection before content’ & he shared amazing teaching ideas (one being ‘Assessment bingo’) Grab the note book for this one, as you’ll be sure to find many takeaways from this ripping chat. #PhysEd
