Are they fascinated with how animation was made, like the Lego Movie, Shaun the Sheep, etc. HUE Animation Studio contains everything a budding animator needs to begin creating stop motion animation videos.
Children can discover, imagine and create stop-motion animation through this easy-to-use, animation software which includes a camera with a unique flexible neck for unlimited positioning options and built-in microphone.
The software (used in schools and at home) helps children to create simple visual adaptations using toys, modelling clay, play figures and stop-frame animation techniques. The process of animating with the Hue Animation Studio encourages children to learn a diverse range of skills in both a fun and stimulating way. They can create a story, create characters, make them from clay or plasticine, design and make sets, compose soundtracks or select appropriate recorded music to enhance a film. Our school is using this too!

Mr K has been complaining that it’s too bright at bedtime up and that it doesn’t feel like bedtime at all. We had double layered his roman blinds but it is not helping him as the light still seeps through the material.

In the past few years, the role of men has significantly changed, and a research by Hot Wheels published today highlighted that modern dads play a more active role in parenting. The new study revealed that dads want to make a positive impact on their children’s lives and to spend more time with them. In fact, dads are more likely than mums to choose toys that remind them of their childhood or that can help build a connection with their child.
Hot Wheels campaign is dedicated to ‘Dads Who Never Need to Grow Up’. It includes an interesting and fun video that delves into children’s perceptions of dads and reveals that modern-day dads do know how to have fun and have the cool factor that makes them fun to play with.

Recently, I was invited by my children’s school to make a short video clip on their Multi Faith school trip. We are hoping to use the brief introduction video to show parents what the trip is about and to educate children who will be going in the near future.
Before we headed off, we had to make sure that all the children’s clothing was appropriate and the girls had a scarf and the boys had a hat/cap. If girls were wearing dresses with socks, they were asked to wear trousers with it. It is important to observe the dress code when you are visiting a temple. We had quite a few children who didn’t wear the appropriate clothing so hopefully this video will help others in future!
After the helpers were assigned to their group of children, we all hopped on the coach and promptly set off. The first place we went to was the Guru Arjan Dev Gurdwara (Sikh) in Derby. Our coach was parked outside the temple’s bus stop. Before we entered the temple, the children were lined up into groups of girls and boys. The group of girl were ushered to the left hand side of the temple while the groups of boys went to the right. Everyone had to cover their heads with a scarf or hat, remove their shoes and wash their hands before entering the prayer room.
