The Really Big Summer Adventure Schools Packs

The really big summer adventure schools packs containing 105 maps (for one form entry schools), funwheels, certificates, wall charts, and competition entry forms are going out to start arriving with schools next week.

This is going out via the School Fruit and Veg Scheme (SFVS) and whilst there are only a small number of primary schools that have KS2 (junior - who don't get the SFVS) but not a KS1 (infants - who do get SFVS). NHS Hertfordshire are keen to make sure that all schools get a box (or two if they are two form entry) and mop up any schools that SFVS might miss.

It would be great to have a named person to send the boxes to so that delivery within the school is assured as that is often the issue.

If for some reason they have not already got the teacher resource pack that went out 4-16 June 2011 then schools can download it here:

• NHS: C4L_Teacher_Resources_Summer_Short (pdf file)

and if they move fast they can order both or either of the teacher pack or
the pupil map box from the small over flow stock we have from the order
line Tel: 0300 123 3434

There are also lots of new really big summer adventure resources on the
website.
