To celebrate the release of Artemis Fowl on 12th June Into Film have partnered with Disney+ to create a package of free home learning resources for students aged 7-14. Inspired by the new release, our Artemis Fowl: Decoding Your World resources combine elements of English, maths and computing, and have been especially designed to support parents whose children are currently learning from home, and educators who are teaching and setting work remotely. Trolls, fairies and mythical creatures abound in Artemis Fowl, a fantastical film adapted from Eoin Colfer’s best-selling Artemis Fowl book series. Expect stunning special effects and exhilarating action as 12-year-old Artemis battles to rescue his kidnapped father from a fantasy realm. Artemis Fowl is streaming exclusively now on Disney+. This free resource includes a suite of materials that educators and parents can use to inspire students and explore key themes raised in the film. In Artemis Fowl: Decoding Your World, pupils will be introduced to Artemis through the film’s trailer and tasked with deciphering secret messages using Gnommish code from the film. Students will immerse themselves into the magical world of film and be inspired by a uniquely smart and adaptable lead character. There are four engaging home learning activities which include learning how to decipher coded messages; completing coding puzzles; character analysis through exploration of thoughts and actions and a creative writing competition. The activity sheets are supported by a home learning guide for educators and parents.

Must See Movies Before You Grow Up: Heroes & Villains

(0)
Heroes and villains provide the backbone of some of our most enduring stories. These films prove that heroes can come in all shapes and sizes, from any background and any age. Working alone, or as part of a team these characters inspire us with their feats, even when they are relatively humble. But who doesn't love a great baddie as well? Despite all of the booing and hissing, the truly great villains are more complex than they initially seem, and it is only when our hero encounters their nemesis that their greatest qualities are truly revealed. The films in the theme are divided into three strands: Heroic Villains and Villainous Heroes, Heroes Assemble and Little Heroes. For each strand, there are activity outlines and extension activities that can be used with any of the films listed in that section. The activities in this resource support learners to examine the relationship between heroes and villains in films, their traits and journeys and how they form teams with others. The films referenced in this resource are available to borrow for free to Into Film Clubs: Beauty and the Beast (1991), Fantastic Mr Fox (2009), Frozen (2013), Shrek (2001), Space Jam (1996), Spirited Away (2001), The LEGO Movie (2014), The Lion King (1994), The Lorax (2012), The Princess Bride (1987).
