As part of ‘Children’s Mental Health Week’ it’s now more important than ever to keep our bodies moving and to keep our minds healthy.
Why not try some of these PE challenges this week?
Saturday marked the beginning of storytelling week. Reading stories to children can show them far-flung places, extraordinary people and eye-opening situations to expand and enrich their world.
At Marsden, we always encourage and promote a love of reading. We are extremely lucky to have our own “Grandad’s Library” at school and the children always tell us how much they love sharing the books with you at home.
To help celebrate this week we have set the children two storytelling challenges and staff will be telling you about their favourite books throughout the week.
Videos and pictures of your challenges can be sent to mhanratty@marsdenprimary.org.uk and will be proudly displayed on our website for everyone to enjoy.
Do you have a favourite book? Let us know in the comment section below.
How many of these challenges can you complete during your daily exercise time?
