Healthy body, healthy mind

With an improved and functional playground, children can get outdoors and run and play to their heart’s content. Exercise in a playground can have enormous benefits for the classroom. It’s a well-known fact that regular physical activity helps to improve a child’s mental and emotional well-being, by reducing stress and increasing self-esteem and confidence. Regular exercise can also improve cognitive function and academic performance by increasing attention and concentration, and enhancing memory and learning.

Get your students outside! – A fun and safe playground improves physical, mental, and emotional well-being, setting children on the right track for the rest of their lives.

Mile A Day Artificial Grass Running

Safety First

Nomow are proud to improve the safety of playgrounds everywhere, by installing our high-quality, beautiful safety surfaces. One of the most common playground surfaces is concrete and tarmac. Concrete and Tarmac however, are highly abrasive surfaces and a trip or fall can immediately result in cut knees and ripped uniform. At Nomow, we know just how regularly kids fall over, and if you add up the number of occasions our surfaces prevented an injury, we can confidently say that we have prevented millions of small accidents.

Many artificial grass installations also include a shockpad layer hidden underneath. This shockpad, which is made from recycled materials, greatly reduces the risk of injuries.

Games

There are a number of educational games that can be played on artificial grass. A popular setup that we’ve seen in schools, is to design a simple rectangular artificial grass play area, with coloured splodges on all sides. Teachers can use this for a plethora of different types of activities as the splodges can be used as ‘bases’ for teams, and teachers can give instructions such as “Run to the red area!”.

A simple artificial grass area can also be used in a primary school for sports day events. The artificial grass acts as an obvious designated area, teachers can lay simple markings on the grass for the different events, and children will be able to compete, run and hop up and down, without fear of falling on concrete.

ActionAid

ActionAid is a fantastic charity that Nomow regularly supports. The charity works all over the world in a number of areas including improving access to education for children in poverty or crisis-affected areas. ActionAid also works to ensure that children’s rights to education are respected and protected. Their work includes building and rehabilitating schools, training teachers, and providing support to vulnerable children. As well as indirectly helping children in Schools in the UK, we love the fact that we’re directly supporting other children across the world.
