Under the Umbrella with Mike Kuczala & Lynne Kenney - Move More, Learn More

In this episode of The PE Umbrella podcast I am joined by Mike Kuczala & Lynne Kenney for a fascinating conversation exploring one of the most important relationships in education: the connection between movement, the brain and learning.

Together, we explore why movement is not simply something children do during PE or at break time, but a fundamental part of how they develop, learn and engage with the world around them.

We discuss the role of the brain-body connection, how children's early movement experiences shape development, and why understanding systems such as the vestibular system can help us better appreciate the importance of movement throughout childhood.

The conversation also explores what intentional movement can look like within classrooms, how small opportunities to move can influence attention, focus and behaviour, and why we should think carefully about creating environments where children are not expected to be still for long periods of time.

We reflect on the relationship between physical education and learning, the importance of developmentally appropriate movement experiences, and how we can support children to build positive relationships with movement that last far beyond their time at school.

Whether you're a primary teacher, PE lead or simply passionate about helping children thrive through movement, this episode will challenge your thinking and provide practical ideas you can take into your own setting.
