Year 5 have been our pioneers for trying out the use of exercise balls to help them to concentrate more in class, improving their mood and progress.
The test began in November 2021 and so as they enter their third month of the trial, we wanted to find out how they are feeling about these new, rounded and bouncy seats!
So what are their views so far?
– Leo: “The ball helps us to sit upright in class.”
– Maximus : “It helps me to distress.”
– Claudia: “Bouncing on the ball helps me to relax and get rid of my frustrations.”
– Judit “I think the ball helps me to concentrate because moving a little bit on the ball makes me feel relaxed, like listening to relaxing music.”
– Mario: “I think the balls are more comfortable to sit on. Chairs are noisy.”
