What people are saying about SEND English Activities with Marvin’s Adventure resources

“Marvin was a kind a little boy and he loved to visit his Grandma and help her to look after her beautiful garden. One day he decided he would surprise her as it was her birthday and he want to make her a special picnic. He wrote his list of all the things he would need for the picnic and set off to the market to make his purchases. A beautiful flower for her garden, a little shiny fish for her pond… little did he know that he was in for a surprise! Marvin meets Little Shiny Fish and Sunny Sunflower who are MAGIC! Plus, he helps Veg Man Vernon and Fishman Phil. Meeting Flora Flower and Barbara Baker the lovely cake maker along the way.”
