This last 2 months the Primary 5 class have been involved in a project called C-Slamm which stands for, children sit less and move more.
Miss Sarah Nally, a PHD researcher from the Ulster University headed the project. The aim was to involve incorporating movement into everyday class lessons.
The boys and girls did a 2 min guided light- intensity activity break after every 30 mins lesson. One whole lesson everyday was involved standing or movement.
Active homeworks were sent home for parents to take part with their children.
We had six electric tables installed in the classroom. These tables could be adjusted to go up to enable the children to stand while doing their class work. The boys and girls were also more active outside in the playground. Each day they recorded the number of steps they did.
The children benefited greatly from the project and they had so much fun.
