The Hurt Locker (15)

Thursday 22nd July 2010 7.30 pm

 An intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. James behaves as if he's indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever. Written by BWR Public Relations

Rutland Hippo Trail Launch

Oakham Festival Launch was combined with the launch of Rutland Hippo Trail. The reception was held at Rutland County Museum.

The Children's Hippos will remain on display at the museum here in Oakham for the duration of the Oakham Festival.

To see photograph of Hippos  decorated by children from all Rutlands schools click this link.
http://martinbrookes.blogspot.com/2010/06/rutland-hippos-from-all-schools.html

The decorating of the Hippos by the children may have been fun, there was also a serious education side to the project.

Wild in Art Ltd. provide schools with an education pack.

A quick glance at the pack last night I find the students are guided through the design process, then learn to discuss and develop, define, deliver and evaluate ideas, this involves group work, students create drawings and paintings,

The ideas are then developed during discussion, looking at details of individual sketch books.

They then learn to define, with presentations and further discussion.

Once this is all completed it is time to deliver the project.

Then the final stage is to evaluate, a time for the students to reflect and think.
