HEALTH AND FITNESS

We alternate a course of balance exercises with elements of yoga and rhythmics. The course is led by an experienced lecturer Martina Voplatková from  10:45am.

During balance exercises we use aids such as balls and balance surfaces. Children learn to breathe well, practice proper posture and stretch all muscles. They also have fun with various songs and rhymes, mimic the movements of animals and phenomena in nature. These activities help to develop children’s imagination and improve their memory and flexibility. This type of exercise has also been shown to reduce restlessness and anxiety. In addition, when performed regularly and correctly, these exercises lead to improved physical conditions and disease prevention.

OUR FLUTE COURSE

Every Tuesday from 15:15 under the guidance of teacher Bára, who plays several musical instruments. The recorder is her favorite instrument, and she has been playing it since she was young.

The lesson is conducted in such a way that combines healthy breathing exercises, rhythmic exercises, singing songs and finger and motor exercises with the recorder. In the recorder circle, children get acquainted with this musical instrument naturally and gently. But above all, with the recorder, their natural musicality, sense of rhythm and intonation develop and the children are guided to breath correctly. At the same time, the development of communication, speech and fine motor skills are supported in a playful way.
