Books by Martin Haigh

Focusing on your direction in life comes easy to some people and they know exactly what they want to do for a job, but for others, deciding on a career path can be one of the most daunting experiences of their lives.This interactive book provides readers with an array of tools and ideas to help them prepare for and find interesting, stimulating employment (or self-employment). Both key skills (CV writing, jobsearching etc.) and behavioural aspects (how to build rapport, how to conduct yourself in an interview etc.) are covered and blended together in a logical pathway to success. Also included in this book is a list of useful references and links to websites established to support you with your career choices.The contents and exercises in the book are cross-referenced to the Gatsby Benchmarks so that teachers and careers specialists can use the stand-alone exercises in class and refer to the Gatsby code. As you progress through the book, please feel free to complete the many helpful exercises. However, if you do not wish to write in your book, then all of the exercises and blank tables are provided free as a resource pack."Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle." Christian D. Larson

This book is designed to be read with children, to engage them in discussion about having a positive attitude to exercise, movement and activity, and the value of a healthy lifestyle.The number of very overweight (obese) infants and children is increasing year on year. Without intervention, these children are likely to be overweight during childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The problem is made worse with children accessing more screen time and leading more sedentary lives. Action needs to be taken sooner rather than later.With this in mind the pupils at Salterhebble Junior and Infant School wanted to contribute to helping children become more aware of health and fitness. Based on an original storyboard by Martin Haigh (Enterprise Partner and Governor at Salterhebble Junior and Infant School), the pupils developed their own extended storyboards. Then, snippets of each were merged to form the final, illustrated story showing the value of health and fitness in young people and their families.Children - did you know that?...• some children put on too much weight when they are quite young• extra weight can make children unhealthy and unfit• children who are overweight might start to lose confidence and stop playing with other children• some children might become sad if they lose confidence due to being overweightWould you like to help these children by telling them about health and fitness?
