A trip into Narnia!
Yesterday we took 17 children to see 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'.
They had a great afternoon even the youngest ones who struggled with the subtitles and the length of the film! Inga (one of our social workers) did an excellent job translating for 2 of the boys having one sat on her lap and the other sat behind her leaning in to listen as she read the subtitles to them.
It's lovely to be able to go out a group and do something different for a few hours. Going to the cinema is something that a lot of children take for granted, even some Latvian children, but for our kids a real treat!
From seeing the trailers for coming films we've already made plans to go and see Ice Age 2 in April, especially because it's being dubbed into Latvian!
