Revolutionising Education
Championing Well-being in Learning ZonesAt Viking, we believe that a thriving learning atmosphere is one where academic success harmonises with the physical, social, and emotional well-being of both students and teachers. Drawing upon our extensive experience partnering with esteemed educational institutions, we've crafted this specialised guide to assist you in cultivating inviting educational spaces conducive to learning. Uncover strategies to prioritise your students' health with simple adjustments, and explore how Viking can be your trusted partner in fostering a nurturing learning environment.
Comfort for All
- Combating Pain: A significant portion of the day in educational settings is spent sitting for extended periods, inevitably leading to discomfort and back pain for students and teachers alike. To address this, opt for ergonomic chairs with adjustable lumbar support, armrests, and headrests to encourage proper posture and prevent musculoskeletal issues. By prioritising ergonomic design in your learning environment, you foster a healthier, more productive learning and teaching experience.
- Reduce Strain: Students lugging heavy backpacks can experience back pain and posture issues, particularly young children without classroom lockers. Ease the burden of heavy backpacks and emphasise student well-being with versatile lockers, offering students a convenient space to store belongings securely. For classrooms without space for lockers, consider sturdy shelving units, parts bins or crates to provide designated storage for books, binders, and supplies. This not only reduces strain but also promotes a more organised learning environment.
Promoting a Clean Learning Space
- Maintaining Hygiene: Schools are bustling hubs of activity and can easily become breeding grounds for germs. It’s crucial to prioritise cleanliness to safeguard the well-being of students and teachers. Stock up on disinfectant wipes, sanitising sprays, and hand sanitiser dispensers, all designed to keep classrooms spotless and germ-free. By integrating these essential products into high-traffic areas like the entrance hall or bathrooms, you can significantly reduce the risk of illness, ensuring a safer and more productive educational experience for everyone.
- Easy-to-Clean Surfaces: Ensure a hygienic and inviting learning space with furniture crafted from easy-to-clean materials. Choosing furniture with surfaces that are simple to sanitise is essential for maintaining cleanliness. Durable laminate and vinyl furniture lines are designed for effortless wipe-downs, making it easy to keep germs at bay. These robust materials withstand daily wear and tear, providing long-lasting functionality and cleanliness.
Enhancing the Learning Experience with the Right Supplies
- Quality Essentials: Equip students for success with essential school supplies. Every student, regardless of age, deserves access to high-quality notebooks, pens, pencils, and binders to excel in their studies. Viking offers a wide variety of notebooks in different sizes and styles to suit every need, alongside smooth-writing pens available in various ink colours for clear and vibrant notes. Our durable binders are built to withstand the rigours of daily use, ensuring that important papers stay organised and protected.
- Inspiring Creativity: Foster creativity and self-expression in students with arts and crafts supplies. Our selection includes vibrant crayons, markers, paints, construction paper, and other essential art materials, all designed to inspire artistic exploration and imagination. Each product is crafted with safety in mind, making them suitable for students of all ages. With high-quality art supplies, educators can provide the tools needed to nurture creativity and support the development of fine motor skills and innovative thinking.
- Organisation is Key: Help students stay organised and manage their workload efficiently with organisational supplies. Our selection includes planners and calendars to track important dates and deadlines, highlighters to emphasise key information, and sticky notes for quick reminders. Additionally, our desk organisers provide a tidy and structured space for all their study essentials. With these tools, students can maintain an orderly workspace and develop effective time management skills.
