P.E Changing Problems
This reflective Ready-Or-Not story takes a funny but all-too-familiar look at the drama of P.E. changing in Reception. One sock missing, plimsolls on the wrong feet, and twenty minutes gone before the lesson even begins. Beneath the laughter is a bigger question: how do we support children in building independence, resilience, and self-regulation when even getting dressed feels impossible?
Use this story as a tool for CPD or staff reflection. It’s perfect for sparking discussion about:
Setting realistic expectations for self-care skills
Scaffolding independence without adding pressure
Finding the learning in everyday frustrations
A relatable, light-hearted story with serious professional value — because every teacher knows the child who can’t get past their socks.
