Wake Up! Shake Up!

What is it?

....fun moves to ‘pop’ music which are designed around core movement skills to encourage good physical development. It’s SO EASY... just follow the DVD. Each pack has 6 routines for you, ready to go and also includes a licensed music CD. That’s enough material for up to a year!

So why not give it a go?

As a teacher, the only onus on you is to provide encouragement and enthusiasm!!

Created by Ruth Mitchell, an ex-teacher, the programme has been operating successfully since 2002 and won a national award from the Youth Sport Trust as an innovative way of engaging ALL children (and teachers in many cases) in a fun and inclusive activity.

Why?

  • Only takes 5-10 minutes
  • Can be done anywhere and at any time of day to suit the school
  • Children can take ownership of it
  • Designed with Young Leaders (Yrs5/6) in mind
  • Provides opportunities for competition with a difference
  • On-going availability of new resources will ensure sustainability
