Nature in your Neighbourhood – Film making competition
From Into Film
We want children and young people to create a short film and use nature and their surroundings in an engaging and creative way, to capture the calmness and document something they’ve noticed or appreciated while spending more time in their local area. Whether it’s in the garden, the local park, or even from inside the home, the natural world is all around us. Encourage children to get creative and use their natural surroundings to make a short film, 3 mins or under in length (including titles and credits) using what equipment you have in the home. Films can be made on a mobile phone, tablet or camera, and we have a range of filmmaking resources to help support you.
There’s lots of advice, resources and information (including the prizes) at the address below

Closing date: Friday 19th June
Romeo and Juliet Ballet
The San Francisco Ballet’s version of Romeo and Juliet is available through the Lincoln Centre at Home for free between May 11th-25th.
Brilliant if you love dance, costume, stage design or Shakespeare.
