Brain Grooves for Schools (in- School Programme)






Why Brain Grooves is Essential for School Learners and Their Teachers

1. Dance

As set out in the Primary PE curriculum. Using the three areas of create, perform, appreciate. I use stories to engage learning with infants; rhythm and modern theatre step for the junior end and Hip Hop Party Steps and Grooves for the seniors. Through our dance programme we engage in

  • Taking responsibility for our own learning
  • Collaborating in teams
  • Turn taking and sharing ideas
  • Practicing being creative and explorative
  • Exploring the use of space
  • Rhythm and tempo
  • Problem solving
  • Creating and performing dance sequences
  • Talking about ours and others creations in a positive constructive and helpful way

2. Physical Literacy and Brain Gym

Using the warm up and brain sequences from the SIMPLE (Sensory Integrated Movement Programme for Learning Enhancement) Programme, plus Brain Gym activities, the children engage in movement patterns that help to:

  • Stimulate new neural pathways + whole brain learning
  • Encourage myelination of new neural pathways
  • Develop focus and calm in the studio and in the classroom
  • Develop transferable skills to the classroom and other activities
  • Rewire the brain and focus for improved learning
  • Help with reading, writing and comprehension by targeting specific areas of the brain through movement patterns. “When the Body Moves, the Brain Grooves”- Jim Kwik
