Mr Davies- Promotional video

Oskar's Wooden Ark store recently had a special visitor - Mr. Marcus Davies! Here is what they wrote about his visit:

 We had a special visitor at the Ark recently - Mr. Marcus Davies; a local primary school Health and Physical Education teacher who is who is truly passionate about children's wellbeing and physical activity.  We were lucky enough to sit down (and up!) with Mr. Davies as he talked more in depth about how important physical activity is for young ones, as well as demonstrating some exercise and mindfulness activities that you can try at home! Mr. Davies had to resort to online learning both this year and last for his students, and it was deemed a huge success by students, parents and fellow teachers at keeping the kids engaged, as well as active when they were stuck at home. You can have your own virtual one-on-one lesson with Mr. Davies right here as he shows us some ways to get active at home. Even better, he shows us how to incorporate your Oskar's Wooden Ark toys and/or regular household items into the routine.

Australian wide anxiety treatment study for 7 – 12 year old children

You are invited to participate in a nationwide study funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council that will determine how well a computer-delivered treatment designed to help children control their attention improves and reduces children’s anxiety compared to another computer-delivered treatment based on cognitive-behavioural therapy.
