We love to learn at RINKA and every class has a dedicated ‘MIND’ section.
This month we are learning all about our muscles – what they’re called, where they are. what they do and how to make them strong!
We’re starting this section of class with our RINKA Muscle song and we think everyone is getting really good at it!!
Check out some of our classes renditions here:

Teaching children about their muscles is important for several reasons:
Physical Health Awareness: Understanding muscles helps children appreciate the importance of physical activity and exercise, which are crucial for maintaining a healthy body. Knowledge about muscles can encourage children to engage in activities that promote muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility.
Body Awareness: Learning about muscles fosters better body awareness and coordination. Children become more mindful of their movements, posture, and how their body functions, leading to improved motor skills and overall physical competence.
Healthy Lifestyle Habits: Knowledge about muscles can motivate children to adopt healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate rest. These habits are essential for muscle development and overall well-being.
Self-Confidence and Empowerment: When children understand their muscles and how their bodies work, they often feel more confident and empowered. This confidence can extend to various areas of their lives, including sports, physical education, and everyday activities.
Long-Term Health Benefits: Early education about muscles and physical health can lead to long-term health benefits. Children who learn the importance of maintaining strong and healthy muscles are more likely to continue healthy practices into adulthood, reducing the risk of chronic diseases related to inactivity and poor muscle health.
Overall, teaching children about their muscles equips them with valuable knowledge that contributes to their physical, mental, and emotional development.
