LONDON AT XMAS

Some of London’s prettiest decorations, busiest shopping streets and most familiar landmarks. It captures the moon rising over St Paul’s, the lighting of the Trafalgar Square tree, skaters at South Kensington and a fab perspective on the funfair at Winter Wonderland.

 Colourful mindmaps to review unit 1:


GIJON FILM FESTIVAL

 A REAL HITCHCOCK FOR KIDS
11-year old Victor is excited when his family moves into his grand-uncle’s  mansion filled with African masks, taxidermy crocodile mounts - and a dark secret: Four decades ago, his grand-cousin Cecilia, at the same age as he is now, lost her life, and the circumstances of her death still remain obscure.
 Alone with his teenage sisters, Victor plays with his sword in front of the big mirror in the parlor - and is shocked when he sees the reflection of a masked man! A burglar? The elderly housekeeper, thinks it was just Victor’s imagination running wild. Or is she trying to draw a veil over the truth?
When Victor finds Cecilia's diary in a secret drawer her wax paintings sends shivers down his spine, did Cecilia foresee her own murder?...
