Stannage from Sima’s Action Kids: "The start of the school
holidays was certainly fun in all respects -
after a huge downpour on Friday, the sun came out for us just in
time for the Big Friday Chil, so we could dance, sing and play games in
the lovely gardens at the Jolly Farmer. I couldn't have wished for a more
fun start to a summer filled with lots of action. I am already looking
forward to the next Big Friday Chill at the Crown in Cookham on the 17th
August at 3.30pm.“ Mob: 0795 699 3439

Emmy
Costa brought her two children, Kaiden and Becky
along and really enjoyed the afternoon: „It was a really relaxing and
fun afternoon in the sunshine and the kids loved it,“
Alison
Shaw and 4 year old daughter, Erin: „We had not been to the Jolly Farmer
before, so the Big Friday Chill was a great introduction to the pub. The
new playground has a fantastic range of equipment and all of the children
(and there were many!) had lots of fun and plenty to do. The animal
carvings rustic charm along with the sit-on wooden tractor. So the Jolly
Farmer is now an outdoor character pub!“

FACTS
ABOUT SIMA STANNAGE:
I performed at Let’s Rock the Moor, the Cookham Jubilee Street Party and the Maidenhead Carnival this year.
Born in Iran and moved to the UK in the mid70s with my family. We lived in a small village in Nottinghamshire and then moved to Maidenhead in 1983.
I am married and have 2 daughters; Natasha aged 10 years and Chloe 5 years.
I have always loved to dance and have been very sporty and active all through my life.
I have a BA in Economics and a MSc in Exercise & Health Behaviour specialising in children.
I have been working in health and fitness for 20 years. My experiences range from teaching aerobics classes to promoting physical activity to everyone aged from pre-school to the elderly.
I set up Sima’s Action Kids in 2005. I believe that I could pass on my passion for exercise and physical activity to children because they can respond to my energy levels and we all have fun together.
Obesity levels amongst 2 to 4 year olds doubled in the last few decades. This is a worrying fact as toddlers are naturally very energetic. They love and need to run, play and explore the world around them. It is essential to encourage young children to be as active as possible. Not only does this ensure they reduce their future risks of developing diseases but also improves their physical, emotional and mental development and makes them more confident.
I have lived in the Maidenhead area for nearly 30 years. I have a great sense of community and always try to promote my home town by getting involved in local events and activities. We are very lucky to live in a town that is beautiful and we should try to help our children be happy and healthy and to be able to enjoy life as we have done.
