There’s always one teacher…

Is it YOU?

 Read about Imogen's experience below 

Hi there,

When I visit Primary Schools, I love working with teachers who motivate and inspire their children.

One teacher I met recently had a great outlook on life, and this really shone through in the classroom. Although not an overly confident dancer, he was using dance in his classroom to build children’s confidence, self esteem and mental strength.

Imagine it for a moment!

The kids are going about their normal morning routine – choosing their lunch options, getting their books ready, putting their water bottles in their designated place. Then suddenly, some dance music starts. The teacher asks everyone to gather round the carpet area.

Then he goes for it, big time! He’s shaking his arms, jumping, freestyle dancing! And the kids are loving it. They are seeing their role model, their mentor, their teacher having a jolly good time. He was making a real spectacle of himself, but so what . He was enjoying it. And his kids were enjoying it too!

And the best part was afterwards...

Once the kids had settled down, I could see how focussed they were in their Maths lesson. It just proves how short bursts of activity really do help focus the mind.

This week in the imovement, I’m giving you a Samba routine to try. There’s nothing like a good shimmy to shake off the winter blues and get Spring off to a positive start!

Here are a couple of ideas for you:
