We all love a good movie and some popcorn,but what is the history of movies all about?
The history of movie/film making spans over 100 years dating back to the latter half of the 19th century up until this day and age.It is amazing how we,over time,have moved from black-and-white-with-subtitles to the 3D wonders we watch in the cinema.Di you know that the first machine patented in the U.S.A to show animated films was called a zoopraxiscope.

Books,books and more books!

This month is book month.
Books are some of the most amazing things in the world.Books are how we learn and understand the world around us,and the best part is that you can read them for hours on end without getting in trouble. They take you places you could only dream about.They tell you the wildest,most adventurous stories ever,but writing a book is a challenge on its own.To be a talented author,you have to be able to come up with a true work of art.The following are a few well known children's authors:


  • Roald Dahl
  • Jacqueline Wilson
  • Lynne Reid Banks
  • Beverly Cleary



                             







Fiction books are incredibly imagination stimulating,while we can easily relate to fact books in our daily lives.Some of us like reading and some of us don't.Even so,there will always be a book out there for us to get hooked on.....we just have to find it!
