Rise and Shine:
Waking the Nation to Concentration
Rise and Shine is aimed at children between the ages of 3 to 11.
The CD, containing eight fun tracks provides music and actions for children to follow. Each track can be used at the start of the day to ‘wake the brain up’ or during the day to simply provide a well earned break. Recent research has shown that regular short breaks can indeed aid learning and help improve concentration.
So, whether children are following Ollie the Octopus’ dance (Track 2), training for the Olympics (Track 6) or simply relaxing and going to their Imaginary Place (Track 8) ‘Rise and Shine’ is the perfect way to wake up the nation to concentration.
The CD has recently been piloted at Townfield Primary School in Wirral where each class have begun each day with 5 minutes of Rise and Shine. The children follow the music and actions from behind their desks and prepare themselves for the rest of the day.
Townfield Headteacher Mrs Kate Lee said, “The CD is Fantastic! All 16 classes are now using Rise and Shine, helping the children wake up, re-energise or simply relax. We will continue to use it daily within our classrooms”.
The short aerobic exercises also help schools and children to achieve the Government target of participating in a minimum of 2 hours of PE and School Sport per week.
All feedback from other schools and teachers has been very positive and now No Kiddin’ are keen to see more and more schools using their CD.
