Marcus's Marvellous Week

Marcus's Marvellous Week

This week is all about Marcus! He lives on his family farm with Charlie the chaffinch.

Marcus loves cooking up a storm in the kitchen. He likes trying out new recipes and surprising his friends with delicious homemade treats.

He uses lots of the fruits and vegetables grown on the farm. He knows that for the fruit trees to blossom they need to be pollinated by bees. So, he and Charlie are on a mission to encourage more bees to the farm. Can you think of any ways we can help bees?

When he’s not cooking, Marcus likes to relax by reading poetry books. You’ll find a few in his recommendations below!
