Today,  we went with Stephanie went to see “How to Train Your Dragon” at the cinema. It is a really good film. Jacqueline went to see “Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang” with a home-educated friend – all at half price, courtesy of Orange Wednesdays!

 

As a home educator you can receive free film resources from www.filmeducation.org .There are lots of ideas on using various films to cover different areas of your curriculum.

We downloaded some activities on Nanny McPhee and also had a disc with other activities on Dragon Training and Vikings sent to us.

 

You can also get free tickets to films which are shown to school children during the film festival later in the year. You do have to book as soon as you can for those because the places go quickly.  There are films geared towards all age groups.

 

Whilst on the subject of free tickets, a lot of theatres offer free tickets to y9oung people under 24, on selected performances. This is supported by the Arts council and is designed to encourage young people to go to the theatre.  It is called ” A Night Less Ordinary” and You can find vmore information from the website – http://www.anightlessordinary.org.uk/

 

This is open to all.

 

Stephanie is going to see  the show “Wicked” again in London in a couple of weeks. We are looking forward to the open air theatre season starting again soon, with our favourites, Heartbreak Productions and Illyria having a good line up for this summer.

 

With abundant blessings.
