Fun & different birthday party ideas for children


EDMum

Recommended Posts

Hello!


If anyone is looking for party ideas or things to do with a group of children, my child (aged 10) had a great time when 'WordPlay' came to our house for a private radio party. All the kids that came wrote radio plays, then had to record it in a really cool radio area (in our living room), with all their sound effects! Myself and my husband had the pleasure of listening live all from the next room's radio.


Zoe & Leon who run these workshops are so good with kids, and all the children really enjoyed the whole thing. They even sent me a lovely email afterwards with attachments of all the plays.


I would definitely be using them again and would recommend this to any parent in East Dulwich looking for exciting birthday party ideas for their children. Here is their email address if you fancy giving it a go:

Thanks EDMum for such a lovely recommendation! We had a lot of fun at the party, and hope the kids did too!


We are also running a children's workshop during Easter Holidays at Village Books.


For anyone who might be interested, on Sunday 10th April, we will be hosting two radio drama making workshops for children aged 8-13 to script their own radio plays in groups, inspired by a range of 'challenge items'. They then broadcast live on air in our pop-up studio which will be set up in Village Books. After scripting the short radio drama, each team will experiment with Foley sounds, learning how to turn everyday objects into radio 4 worthy dramas!


All audio masterpieces are live which friends and parents can tune into either in the store or from the comfort of their own homes! We also record the lot to be listened to over and over again on our website after the event:

There will be two radio workshops on Sunday 10th April:


Either

10am - 12pm


Or

2pm - 4pm


Light refreshments will be included in each workshop!


Tickets cost ?12.50 per child - pop in to the bookstore before 10th April to reserve your spot & grab your ticket.


If you would like any more information, please feel free to email us on [email protected] or email Village Books directly on [email protected] to reserve your ticket and pay in store.


We look forward to seeing (and hearing) you all there!


All the best,


Leon & Zoe

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon  
    • That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
