As all of KS2 are aware Film Club has started running in school.

Film Club runs on a Wednesday night, from 3pm until 4:30pm.

It is free for all children in KS2 to attend and they are able to buy a drink and a bowl of popcorn.

Tonight we watched Ponyo. A fantastic fantasy film about the friendship between a boy and a girl.

All the children who attend film club will be given a unique log in and password to access the Film Club site. Here they are able to write reviews on the films they have watched which are automatically entered into a weekly competition. Alongside this, the children are also able to browse films and add them to a ‘wish list’ which is sent through school. From this we will be able to choose a film to show the children on a ‘Viewers choice’ night.

If your child would like to join Film Club, see Miss Hollis (Year 6) for a letter.
