This week Green class have participated in the Into Film Festival. This is a free, nationwide celebration of film and education for 5-19 year olds.

After a brisk walk downhill to Aston train station, a quick train ride into Birmingham New Street station and a few more steps around the corner, Green class arrived at the Electric Cinema ready to watch The Little Mermaid.

The Electric Cinema is the oldest working cinema in the U.K. and showed its first silent film in December 1909. Have a look inside this magnificent space and go upstairs to screen 2. This is where Green class sat in comfort on large sofas and cosy reclining seats. http://www.theelectric.co.uk/walkthrough/outside.html.

The Little Mermaid story,especially the setting has given Year 3 lots of wonderful ideas for their narrative writing.
