Introduction
We’ve set up yet another blog 
We’re planning a more-structured-than-usual (for us, anyway) project as part of our family’s home education this academic year, or as long as it takes; we are going to study the Narnia Books by C S Lewis. As it’s going to be an ongoing project I thought it might be good to keep a separate blog.
Steve and I last read the books five years ago, so we’re planning to re-read them alongside the children. Anna already knows the stories of the first two books from audiobook adaptations she’s listened to, but she’s never read the books themselves. Abbie and Joe both know the story of ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’ from the animated feature film (the old one, that I watched as a child!), but that’s about it.
Anna and I decided that we’d do a literature based project on the books when we first saw the trailer for the new film - somehow a project seems to have a nice ‘end’ with a film, but I’m hoping we’ll carry on past the first two books and look at all of them, even if we do it in dribs and drabs over the next few years.

Can you get the animated one still? I loved it.
And i looked at the trailer for the new one last night and cried.
And i’m increasingly hooked by the idea of the project, can i follow your trend after all?

Not sure, we’ve got an ancient copy. I am planning a party for the end of it, if I can book one and choose the film at the cinema, going there today so I might know later.
Feel free to follow the trend, although you might want to wait a couple of years really, then you could borrow all the stuff, and your lot will be that bit older to enjoy it even more.

Humph. All kids’ parties at the cinema are booked up until January 21st! Never mind eh.

i was thinking of only doing The lion(…) really. I doubt the others will appeal yet.
