On this episode of The PE Umbrella podcast, I am joined by senior lecturer in sport, PE and development at the University of East London, Mo Jafar.  
I can't wait for you to hear this one, it was a truly fascinating and organic conversation with Mo about PE and the current implications across the landscape.  So what are you waiting for?  Come on over and join me under the umbrella!

With me under the umbrella this week is PE teacher at Capital Tokyo international school Hugo Pires.  
Lots of people have asked for Hugo to join me under the umbrella and I am delighted that we were finally able to make it happen.  This was an insightful conversation into Hugo's perspectives on PE and how he has brought Parkour to his students in Japan.

We discuss all things PE and in particular the importance of moving the 'right' way and staying true to our roots of movement as the unique USP of Physical education.  You won't want to miss this one.  
So what are you waiting for?  Come on over and join us under the umbrella.
 

With me under the umbrella this week is another one of the most high-profile guests I have ever had on the show.  He is the other half of the Ellis clan, Jiu Jitsu savage, master doodler, and all-round kind-hearted soul, my son, Oliver.
In this episode I learn about how he views PE as he approaches his final few months of primary school and summarise how these may have been shaped.
I'm very proud of both Oliver and Penelope and the honest and articulate answers they have shared over the past few weeks.

On this episode of The PE Umbrella podcast I invited my daughter to talk with me about Primary School PE.
This brief chat provides an insight into the inner workings of Penelopes mind when it comes to the subject of PE and how she perceives it.  As with everything, context is key.  Penelope has a dad who lives and breathes primary PE.  I afford her the opportunity to attend out-of-school activities to further her physical, social and emotional development because I value it so highly and I am under no illusions that these can, and probably do bias some of her views.
However, this short episode was recorded in one take and Penelope had no prior warning of the questions I was going to ask beyond knowing they would be about PE.  It was fascinating to hear the thoughts of essentially our 'target audience' as practitioners, and the messages, whether intentional or unintentional, she is picking up.  
Stay tuned at the end of the recording as I try to unpick and make sense of some of her answers...
