Wake and Shake and Morning Nurture
At Urchfont School, our doors open at 8:40am for Morning Wake and Shake Exercise, a lively start to the day set to music. Led by one of our skilled teaching assistants, this fun activity gets children moving, energised, and ready for learning.
Exercise is not only great for fitness and physical health, but it also boosts concentration, focus, and alertness. By starting the day with movement, children arrive in class ready to engage fully in their lessons.
Staff and children participate together, creating a strong sense of community and reinforcing our family ethos. Staff lead by example, showing that staying active is a positive and enjoyable part of everyday life.
Morning Wake and Shake is more than just exercise – it’s a shared moment that promotes health, happiness, and belonging across the whole school community.
For children who may find the lively movement challenging, we also offer a morning quiet nurture group, ensuring that every child has a supportive and inclusive start to their day.
