Winchester is first choice for unique children’s drama school London based Perform Drama, Dance and Singing Workshops started a class in January 2000 with 3 children. They now have 3,500 children attending their workshops across London and have chosen Winchester as their new destination and are opening in September 2012.

Perform is a new type of children’s drama school.

They use a unique mix of drama, dance and singing specially formulated to bring out every child’s true potential. Classes are kept small to ensure lots of individual attention by their experienced actor/ teachers. They work exclusively with 8-12 year old children and their focus is entirely on The 4 C’s.

Confidence, Communication, Co-ordination and Concentration. They don’t send children to auditions or castings, but focus on helping children develop their social skills whilst having the best fun of the week. They are also centrally run as opposed to being a franchised business.

Principal Lucy Quick says “We are incredibly excited about opening in Winchester from September. It’s an amazingly creative area, and we have already found some fantastic local people to lead the workshops.”

Classes in Winchester will be on Saturdays at Holy Trinity Parish Church, Upper Brook Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8DQ at 2pm.

All children are invited to a Free Trial Session.

Camp Bestival

Dick & Dom Host Camp Bestival CBBC stars Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood host Camp Bestival’s family event this year at Lulworth Castle, Dorset this year. Here they talk to Rebecca Carr, Editor of Families Solent West about what we can expect from them at Camp Bestival.

How did you become involved with Camp Bestival?

Dick: The first time we did it was last summer and the hosting of the main stage, it was a great experience and we loved the interaction with the crowd and children.

Dom: On a Saturday they have acts that are aimed towards children like Mr. Tumble and so they wanted to link it all together and thought of us and we were very happy about that.

Camp Bestival is a fantastic event for both adults and children – why do you think it is such a success?

Dick: It is one of a kind and there isn’t really anything else like it that targets the family audience other than Camp Bestival.

It is a unique event and as well as the children’s element to the festival it also has a lot for the parents so they can let go a bit too.

Dom: The mixture of adults and kids works well and the kids were up until midnight and loving it and it is probably not often they get to do that. It all works so well.

What can we expect this see from Dick and Dom this year at Camp Bestival?

Dick: We’ve been brushing up on a new skill for the act – the ukulele! We’ve been working on a few Ukulele type songs like Christmas Carols just to give it a bit of a Christmas feel!

Dom: It will be similar to last year like big crowd games, competitions and one of the things we do try to do is to make the person right at the back feel as included as the person right at the front of the stage.

There are lots of fantastic acts this year but who are you most looking forward to seeing?

Dick: The Happy Mondays – I am a big fan and I have never actually seen them live so I am really looking forward to seeing them and the Rizzle Kicks!

Dom: I’m looking forward to our set the most!

Stop Press

Limited number of day tickets released! These and full weekend tickets are now available.

Ticketline: www.ticketline.co.uk/ camp-bestival or Tel: 0844 888 4410

What do you guys find funny and what makes you laugh?

Dick: we really like old school stuff like the Two Ronnie’s or Vic and Bob Dom: Us! Dick: Yeah, but mostly the old comedies like the Carry on films. I like the old school sense of humor.

You’re currently on our screens with Dick and Dom Go Wild – What is your favourite animal and why?

Dick: A pug Dom: A Pig

What is the scariest animal you have worked with?

Dick: A Pug Dom: A Pig

July – August 2012

SPEND A MAGICAL DAY AT Voted the Best UK Family Festival in 2009 and 2010, Camp Bestival returns to Lulworth Castle in Dorset on Thursday 26th July to Tuesday 29 July. As well as an amazing line up of music with acts including; Rizzle Kicks, Happy Mondays, Hot Chic, Adam Ant, Rolf Harris, Kool & the Gang, Camp Bestival is about more than music with entertainment from children’s favourites Dick and Dom, Mr Tumble, Shrek the Musical, Fantastic Mr Fox and Wooky Hole Circus. There is an array of entertainment for all the family including a silly sports day to coincide with the Olympics and you can even watch the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Games on the screen in the Big Top tent.

The Lower Kids Garden, meanwhile, is packed full of entertainment for slightly older children including the English National Ballet tent, Insect Circus and Museum and the Little Big Top.

A large section of the site is devoted to the little ones with the Upper Kid’s Garden on the Castle’s back lawn particularly suited to giving your very young bambinos plenty of space to cavort to their hearts’ content.

Activities here include the a Kids Big Top, Kids Theatre Workshop, a Bouncy Castle, a separate Toddlers’ Area and the pioneering Breastival Mother and Baby Temple.

July – August 2012

Children’s fun certainly isn’t restricted to the Kids Garden either, with fun and games spread throughout the site.

You’ll find live performances by Mr Tumble, The Gruffalo, Dick & Dom, Shrek The Musical and more happening on our main stage amongst all our live music acts, and the Freestyle Sports Park and Rob da Bank’s Music Club for older kids are over in the Magic Meadow area of the site near the Big Top and Bollywood music arenas.

Paddington Races Ahead by Michael Bond M

D Dinosaur Olympics by O Jeanne Willis J

(HarperCollins £10.99) £

(Piccadilly Press £5.99) £

ED SAYS: E ‘‘Paddington Bear ffinds himself in the midst of all sorts of m misunderstandings as he tries to see i d t di the importance of oysters when travelling on a London bus and attempts to take up an offer with a personal trainer. And Paddington is to star in a film – as a famous Peruvian athlete. Thank goodness for the certainty of Mrs Bird and her homemade marmalade and elevenses each day with Mr Gruber!

‘This is a brand new book about an old favourite character by the wonderful Michael Bond. Paddington continues to delight children and grown-ups alike with his madcap adventures.’

G Guinea Pigs Online

by Jennifer Gray b and Amanda Swift a

ED SAYS: ‘The E sstegosauruses are tthrowing a party for Uncle Loops’ 190th U birthday – a great b excuse for but also an f a celebration l b opportunity for the Downtown Dinosaurs to gatecrash their fun. It seems as if the proceedings will descend into a dinosaur battle but perhaps the dino-mayor can establish peace with the idea of the Dinosaur Olympics. Much hilarity ensues while the dinosaurs attempt to get into shape for the games.

‘This very funny story is the latest action-packed adventure from this fantastic author. It is complemented by wonderful illustrations throughout.’

L Long Lankin by Lindsey L Barraclough (Random House Children’s Books £6.99) £ ED SAYS: ‘Beware E of Long Lankin… o Cora and her C yyounger sister Mimi are sent to stay with their Aunt Ida who offers them a rather cold welcome.

Their arrival has awoken an evil that has lurked around for years. Cora and Mimi find friendship from people in the village but they would dearly love to go back to London to their former life. They hear eerie voices and see mysterious warnings – but can Cora protect her sister from such an ancient evil?

‘Inspired by a haunting ballad, this book is descriptive and atmospheric, chilling and thought-provoking. It is brilliantly written and grips the reader from beginning to end.’

Ed’s Reading Room is part of www.edontheweb.com, a DTI award-winning website. It was created by Maggie Humphreys, a teacher of more than 25 years, and Les Snowdon, who together are authors of several books on fitness walking and healthy eating.

(Quercus Books £4.99) ED SAYS: ‘Fuzzy and E Coco are two very C different characters. d Fuzzy adores cooking F and computers a loves being pampered whereas Coco lov and living a life of luxury. Fuzzy sees an ad by a glamorous chef – Guinea Pigs Wanted – and is keen to follow it up but Coco realises things aren’t always what they seem. When Fuzzy goes missing, Coco has to go online and find Fuzzy. Can Fuzzy be tracked down before he ends up on Scarlet Cleaver’s menu?

‘Here is a laugh-out-loud adventure about these fantastic crazy characters.

Boys and girls alike will enjoy this exciting book with its super illustrations.’
