Brain Breaks

Parents and families, you may begin to hear  stories this week of a strange creature called Squeaky Laroo and your children doing yoga, dancing and quizzes at school.  This is part of a new "Brain Break" activity time we are using in the classroom.  Our class has signed up to a website called, "GoNoodle"which allows us to choose a Class Captain/avatar (Squeaky Laroo) and complete short activities.  So far we have done some energizing activities and some calming activities including some stretching and relaxing breathing.  We also used the website to do some fun skip counting this morning in maths.  It is fast becoming a favourite part of the day, and is really engaging the students as you can see from the photos below of a yoga activity we all did with a little bit of help from a Spanish speaking monkey!
