Build a Bear Workshop

Build A Bear-Ville

 
Build A Bear-Ville is a virtual world connected to a shop in West Quay

Southampton called Build A Bear Workshop where you can make your own bear.

First you choose the bear you want, then you walk over to a machine where you stuff them. At the back of the bear there is a hole and on the end of the machine there is a tube, you put the hole on the end of the tube and hold a button with your foot and then it stuffs your bear!

The second bit is where you bathe your bear at the mini spa .You brush your bear and give it a bath!

After you have done that you choose the clothes and shoes, they always look really cute! If you ask a member of staff they will give you a free bow for your bear’s ear.

When you are all done you go to a computer and name your bear!

You get a birth certificate for your bear.

When you come home with your furry friend if you have a computer you can create an account on build a bear-Ville. On the website you can make a new character and you can name your character and give your character a make-over. When you log into account you go to a little shop (they have little shops in build a bear Ville)! The shop you click on is in the town square and its called build a bear workshop. When you get in you click on a little bear and he will wave! When you enter the shop you click on him and enter the code on your bear’s birth certificate. Then you will have your bear online too! You can get money for your character and maybe even a gift too! There are lots of games and you can also add friends. It’s very fun to play with and worth joining.

Wizards of Waverly Place




A wizard of Waverly place is a TV show about three wizards who are brothers and sisters. They live in the normal world while training for the wizard competition, which is where they have to compete against each other to keep their powers. However, they also have to try keep their secret from the human world!

This a great TV show to watch on Disney channel.

Letters to Juliet


Letters to Juliet is an amazing film which stars Amanda Seyfried, Chris Egan, Vanessa Redgrave, Gael Garcia Bernal and Franco Nero. Amanda Seyfried is a brilliant actress, she is my favourite! The DVD is on sale now for around £7.00. I think that you should definitely watch it because it is an exceptional, romantic drama!     

William and Kates wedding

As you have probably heard, Prince William and, soon to be, Princess Kate Middleton, are getting married on Friday 29th of April at Westminster Abbey. This is where the queen was crowned in 1953 and where she got married in 1947. On that special day everyone also gets a day off to watch the wedding and celebrate! The couple got engaged when they were on holiday in Kenya in October. Kate also wants to change her name back to Catherine because she thinks it sounds more royal and queen-like. They would like everyone to join in the celebration with them, so hopefully you can join in as well by watching it on the TV!

Magic World


Magic World is a great theatre school for kids (age 6-16). We have a fair amount of children going - 54 - who all join in with the popular dances and songs. We also practise acting which is great fun. We put on a show every other half term (for example Pinocchio, the Lion King Etc.). Magic World is run by Samantha Clothier. The dance teacher is Fiona Wingrove and the singing teacher used to be Charlotte Hamilton until she went to university to do her exams (she will be returning next term). Now Samantha is our singing teacher and Alex is our new acting teacher!


Magic World is on every Thursday night from 4:30 – 7:30. It is great fun and I recommend Magic World to all the children who like performing!

Shake It Up

Shake It Up is a brand new show on Disney Channel and it’s amazing! It stars Bella Thorne who plays Cece and Zendaya who plays Cece’s best friend Rocky. Also Roshon Fegan from Camp Rock plays Rocky’s older brother in the show! The show is about a dance show called Shake it up Chicago. Cece and Rocky get a job to be dancers on the show and have a lot of fun on it. It’s really funny to watch, and did you know Selena Gomez sings the theme tune?! It is a great show and I absolutely love it!!!

Footloose

Footloose has just recently come to the Mayflower. It has been on for a short amount of time, but in that time there has been more than 1,000 people watching it! The film starred Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer and John Lithgow ; who were great actors. It is about a city boy who comes to a small town where rock music and dancing have been banned and he tries to persuade the manager of the city to let the people in the town dance. It is a great show, the music is incredible and you should go and see it!
