Warsaw. Rotors operate at the school in Żoliborz

The Żoliborski office boasts a new solution to support students' concentration. At Primary School No. 267 of the name Juliusz Słowacki at Braci Załuskie Street 1, rotors were installed – bicycles integrated with the bench.

The originator of the introduction of such a solution was a French language teacher – Donata Pocniewska, MA, who also took care of obtaining funds and the implementation of this pilot project at SP No. 267.

– I came up with the idea of ​​introducing rotors after watching a French report on innovation at school and applying in classrooms integrated with a bicycle. My bilingual students spend more time at school than general grade students and have a lot of inexhaustible energy. That is why I decided to reach for a solution that combines learning with physical activity. I observe students with great commitment and greater motivation to come to classes – says the Pocniewska District Office.

Conducive to concentration

Officials explain that rotors allow students who have difficulty concentrating to unload excess energy in a controlled manner and without disturbing classes. In addition, short, regular movement breaks conducive to better focus and longer cognitive strength. This also translates into limiting the need to leave the class during school classes.

“Not every student learns and concentrates in the same way. For many children it is difficult to remain motionless and focus for 45 minutes of lesson. The rotors give the opportunity to unload tension without having to get up, walking or leaving the class, which often distracted other students. This little movement helps especially those students who absorb knowledge more efficiently when they can remain in moderate or constant movement” District Office.

Rotors at the school in Żoliborz

– rotors are a permanent element of the class equipment, which students can use depending on their needs. This possibility of combining movement with science does not interfere with the course of the lesson, and the experience of Primary School No. 267 show that taking into account the individual needs of students and the introduction of thoughtful solutions significantly increases the quality of education, both for a single child and the entire class -recovers the initiative Renata Kozłowska, the mayor of Żoliborz.

An additional advantage of rotors is their function supporting students' physical fitness, improve the improvement of mobility, muscle strength and motor coordination of the lower limbs. They also improve circulation and stimulate the nervous system.
