Nelson Central School- Nurture group

I have been using Brain Gym in my Nurture Group (5-6 year olds) for the last couple of terms.  I only have to think back to those first few days of explaining the different parts of Brain Gym to my little group of five to see how far we have come. Initially we struggled with the different exercises but once we broke it down and focused on one exercise at a time we soon mastered it! We now start every session following along with Kerri in her you tube video (www.braingymnelson.co.nz/pace).

The children are now in such a routine. The first thing they do is get themselves a glass of water and then we are ready to start. Once we get to the hook up and see I seem them all laying there relaxed and calm, I feel my self welling up with pride. The difference in their attention and focus is incredible. I’ve also noticed that if the classroom has been especially busy and we take a few minutes to “hook up” before lunch we have a much calmer time eating our lunch! (Victoria, November 2016)
