with the progress of Film Club and was looking forward to it continuing. Response to film (Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday): 15 present on day of visit, 4 boys 11 girls. The children sat in 3 rows near the front of the classroom and the teacher sat at the front to one side from where she read some of the subtitles and talked about the action to help the children. This worked well and although some of the children were talking during the film, this seemed fine and helped some of them to understand the plot more easily, particularly as the film had little dialogue and was also subtitled. The children definitely connected with the Mr Bean comedic style and there was a lot of laughter. They enjoyed the screening and talked about it in a very lively and animated way at the end as they waited for parents to collect them.
