Welcome to our Marvellous Medals Award Ceremony! Here we are celebrating all the weird and wonderful things we are best at.
Participants are invited to create a marvellous medal for someone, ideally they are with that person. Families can all make medals for each other (you can also make one for yourself) Maybe Mum is the World’s Best Hugger? Or the Best at Silly Dances. Perhaps you are the best at inventing jokes?
Once your medal is crafted, the recipient can take their place on the podium, under the banner for a photo, families can group together.
