Wake up shake up - ICT and a healthy mind

When you visited England you all saw our 'wake up shake up' daily routine.
Here is the method behind the madness:

After taking part the children will approach their class work re-energised and in a ‘state of readiness to learn’.

Impact

Where it has been taking place regularly over a long and sustained period of time, schools have reported an impact in the following areas:-

• Enjoyment of school life and a sense of well-being (staff too!)
• Improved self-esteem impacting on other curriculum areas: ‘success breeds success’
• Improved co-ordination (gross motor skills then impacting on fine motor skills)
• Improved rhythm and timing ( this has helped with music and dance lessons)
• Improved concentration and application to tasks immediately after the brief exercise session
• Increased stamina
• Improved behaviour (“when done at the end of lunchtime, playground squabbles are forgotten and afternoon class is much better”)
• Improved hydration (children get thirsty and WANT to drink more)
