We’re delighted to have teamed up with A New Direction on their pioneering Primary Arts programme.
This session which has been scheduled especially for primary school educators in London, will explore exciting approaches to teach literacy through film and a range of engaging activities to try out with your learners.
We’ll introduce you to a key framework, which will help you to break analysis down into manageable chunks for your learners. You’ll take part in fun literacy-focused activities, using highlights from engaging short films while also developing your knowledge of the basic elements of film. You’ll come away with some great ideas to help learners develop their comprehension, analytical and creative writing skills – all through the excitement of film.
After the session, you’ll have access to the session presentation which includes film highlights and ready-made activities that you can run with your learners.
If you are having trouble accessing this session or if you have any additional accessibility requirements, please contact onlinehelp@intofilm.org
About A New Direction’s Primary Arts Programme
A New Direction’s Primary Arts programme aims to increase access to high quality, inspiring arts, cultural and creative opportunities for children and staff in mainstream and SEND state primary schools in London. Delivered in collaboration with over 20 cultural organisations each year, this menu of free opportunities for primary schools aims to unlock the creative potential, cultural capital and skills of school staff and children, offering opportunities to support wellbeing, confidence, personal interest and professional development.
Through the programme, schools can access free tickets for cultural trips to venues around London, have a show come into school, or access a range of teacher CPD opportunities, some with paid cover. The entire programme is free of charge and is suitable for SEND and mainstream primary settings.
