Here's a selection of fun activities for you and your family...

Explore National Geographic Kids Discover section. This is where you can discover some of the coolest facts for kids from around our planet. From animals and geography to science, nature and history, there are so many amazing facts for kids just waiting to be discovered by young explorers.
 Learn about food with 'Food a Fact of Life'
The 'Food a Fact of Life' classroom is a remote learning hub focused on everything linked to food, such as recipes, where our food comes from and healthy eating tips. Until 1 September, schools, pupils and parents can access activity ideas and resources to support remote learning. Its free and new resources will be released every two weeks.

The #DailyMileAtHome is helping children stay active by encouraging 15 minutes of jogging, walking or running, with some extra challenges along the way to keep everyone motivated. The challenge is now on Week 12 so start here, or for even more of a challenge start at the beginning and catch up!
 Chicken and leek pasta bake
This pasta bake is made with just a handful of cupboard staples, including flour and milk. Simply add whatever vegetables you have to hand – fresh or frozen peas and broccoli work perfectly, but you can use whatever veg you can get hold of – try sweetcorn, mushrooms or spinach. Any leftovers you have can be frozen too, making a quick and easy mid-week meal.
 “Take responsibility of your own happiness; never put it in other people’s hands.”
