Out Of Sight

A little girl’s bag is snatched and she strays from the road she is familiar with. She enters an unknown world and unfolds a magical adventure depending on her senses other than vision and her imagination.

Watch this video with your children, and then try some of our teaching and activity ideas below.

Teaching Ideas and Resources:

English

• The girl discovers an entrance to an unknown world. Before watching the rest of the video, discuss what might be in it. Think of arguments for / against going in. Write your own story about what might happen there.
• Write a diary entry from the girl’s point of view.
• Write some narration for the story to explain what is happening. Could you read / record this while the video is playing?
• If you could go to your own imaginary world, what would it be like?
• Write a sequel to this story. What other adventures might the little girl have?

Science
