Review:

′In a period when the amount of time devoted to physical education on primary initial teacher training routes is increasingly becoming ′squeezed′, trainee teachers will welcome the concise and reader-friendly format this book offers. Julia Lawrence has taken great care to provide a balanced and relevant overview of the major topics trainee teachers often lack confidence in, when planning and delivering lessons. The book follows a logical sequence, firstly exploring and justifying the importance of the subject within the primary context, before using an accessible theory-informed approach to discuss other important areas such as Safe Practice and how children develop movement competencies. A particularly useful and welcome feature for trainee teachers is the book′s companion website. Helpful links to teaching resources and further reading will appeal in particular to non-specialist trainees hoping to gain a deeper understanding of this subject. This book provides essential reading for all trainee primary teachers who are following undergraduate, postgraduate or employment-based routes into teaching′ -
