The Light Cinema New Brighton is offering a pioneering immersive learning offer to Wirral Schools and youth groups.

The Cinema Park programme uses the latest film and cinema technology to take pupils through a voyage of discovery on subjects such as wildlife, protecting the planet, space and science. Cinema Park has an international reputation for creating multi-sensory educational programmes, which have been adopted as compulsory curriculum in Israel, Poland and Florida.

The half-day programmes are suitable for pupils from Key Stage 2 upwards (ages 7-15) and cover a range of themes from animals & habitats, science & nature, to alcohol & drug prevention.

The scheme offers half-day tours so schoolchildren can interact with films created by some of the world’s leading documentary and filmmakers from the BBC, National Geographic and the History Channel. Pupils enter different screens to experience 3D and interactive technology, as they absorb information and engage with educational content through a familiar and enjoyable format that entertains as well as educates.

Bernard Cassidy, Headteacher of Mount Primary, said: “Our children thoroughly enjoyed the Edu-tainment experience at the Light Cinema. They learnt a lot and had a great deal of fun. We will definitely be using this again as part of our curriculum plans”.
