Friday, March 23rd, 2012

We were really pleased when our latest Gonge delivery arrived.

Globes – perfect for home or classroom use

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

For Geography Key Stages 1-4, the National Curriculum states that all children should be taught to use atlases and globes. The use of a globe is also included in the Visual Literacy element of the National Curriculum. For parents who have joined the growing ranks of those taking a personal part in their children’s education, the world globe continues to be an unsurpassed reference and learning tool. With the dismal understanding many have of geography in general, perhaps it is time to reemploy the traditional tools and methods that have proven their worth in turning out well educated, responsible adults. Bouncy Happy People has selected a range of Globes that our perfect for home and classroom use.


Parachute Play is Educational in the Widest Sense

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

The basic concept of parachute play is constant throughout; a means to involve several people in an activity which is non-competitive, where everyone works towards a common goal and has fun! In recent years experts in the field have utilised this basic concept to help address some of the issues facing today’s society. Playing with the parachute provides exercise for the whole body – for everyone!

Parachutes can provide a co-operative forum which helps break down some of the barriers and lables built up wihin peer groups and across cultures:

  • Used for co-operative games, Playchutes can help develop a wide range of social skills
  • They can help to mould a group into a working unit before progressing onto other projects
  • They can be used to re-inforce topic material from a wide range of curriculum contexts
  • They can be used for a wide range of therapeutic purposes
  • They can provide for diverse physical exercise including dance and gymnastics
  • Parachutes are a valuable aid in encouragine co-operation and social interaction in the early years and primary education
  • For the elderly Parachutes are a wonderfully motivational resource for exercise, movement and social interaction.
  • They can be used as a tool to overcome language barriers and shyness
  • The use of play parachutes can help address issues such as child abuse, bullying, truancy, racism and sexism in a non-confrontational manner
  • A close group environment can be created by sitting on or under the Playchute when activities require quiet and concentration
  • Parachutes can provide an attractive backdrop for Open Days and other significant ceremonies

Only your imagination sets the limits!
