Indo board big hit for PE kids
CHILDREN from Rosary Primary School in Haverstock Hill have discovered a radical new way of keeping fit and having fun in their PE sessions.
They have been putting their balance and co-ordination skills to the ultimate test after being introduced to the Indo board in a new campaign called Bringing the Ocean into Schools.
Originally designed to help keen surfers improve their balance before going into the water, the multi-functional fitness board consists of a wooden deck placed upon a specially moulded plastic roller or cushion.
The board has been adopted by Sports Coaches into Schools (SCIS), who have made it their mission to get more youngsters involved in sports.
The activity has proved a big hit with pupils at Rosary School, who have taken to the Indo board like a surfer to water.
Ellie Themistokleous, 10, said: “I think it’s really good, schools are missing out on so much fun.
“I feel sad for the schools who haven’t had the chance to try it out.”
Classmate Kai Ovie, 11, added: “The Indo board has really improved my balance and co-ordination skills, which have helped make me better at other sports like football.”
SCIS liaison officer Rob Betts has invited all schools across Camden and Islington to sign up for an Indo board taster session, and try something new to motivate the kids.
“This is a really fun option for schools and gives children something new to look forward to within their PE sessions.
“It’s proving a big hit and we’re inviting any schools that are interested to get in touch to arrange a trial session.”
Anyone interested in arranging a class can contact Rob on 07791 981 732 for further information. |
