The transition from summer holidays back to the classroom can be challenging for many children. After weeks of outdoor play, fresh air and freedom, settling back into routines and maintaining focus throughout the school day can take time.
That's why Hope is proud to support the imoves Active Autumn campaign, a completely free initiative designed to help primary schools keep children active, engaged and ready to learn throughout the autumn term.
Free Resources for Every Classroom
Running from September through to October half term, Active Autumn provides schools with free access to a wide range of movement-based resources that support three key classroom needs:
- Getting Active
- Getting Focused
- Being Calm
Teachers simply need to create a free imoves account to unlock a collection of ready-to-use videos, activities and classroom resources. There is no need to alter existing timetables or spend valuable planning time creating activities.
Each resource is fully prepared and easy to use. Teachers can simply press play and guide pupils through short, engaging activities that typically last around five minutes. The programme also includes free CPD resources, providing additional support and ideas for creating more active learning environments.
Supporting Learning Through Movement
Research continues to show the positive impact movement can have on concentration, behaviour and learning outcomes. Short activity breaks throughout the day give children an opportunity to re-energise, refocus and regulate their emotions.
Even just a few minutes of movement every 90 minutes can help improve engagement and attention levels, making classroom time more productive for both pupils and teachers. Whether it's a quick burst of physical activity, active learning or a calming mindfulness session, these free resources are designed to fit naturally into the school day.
