Four Oaks Primary school promotes the 'Take 10' programme every morning during registration. Young leaders make up new routines to teach to their peers or it’s just a fun aerobic session following the official 'take Ten' DVD.
It engages children of all ages in a fun and lively way, as they learn easy routines to pop music and have a great time! After this fun start to the day the children approach their class work re-energised and in a’ state of readiness to learn’.
If you don't believe us then just take a look at this video !
Where it has been taking place regularly over a long and sustained period of time, schools have reported an impact in the following area:-
- 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 attention and application to tasks immediately after the brief exercise session.
- Increased stamina
- Improved behaviour (when done at the end of lunchtime, playground squabbles are often forgotten and afternoon class is much better)
- Improved hydration (children get thirsty and WANT to drink more)
