Art Attack


If you have art as a subject to teach and you are lack of ideas for your classes or as parents you want totry some of these activities you have a wonderful site here based on the Disney Channel pregramme. Art attack


It might surprise you to know that presenter Neil Buchanan isn't a qualified artist - he's a musician!

"Before I appeared on television, I was in a rock band called Marseille. We made two albums and five or six singles, on vinyl, so you can tell how long ago it was!", he explains. "Mums and Dads might remember the band - or even have the songs somewhere!"

Neil grew up in Aintree, Liverpool. "I've enjoyed art since I was very young. One day I thought that I'd make quite a good artist, so I enrolled at Liverpool Art College. They told me that they thought I wasn't good enough, so I walked out and have never looked back", he remembers.

Neil has presented Art Attack since it began on CiTV an amazing twelve years ago. "Those early programmes are still being shown in some countries, and it's rather embarrassing to look back at the haircut I had at the time. I was recently asked if I had been wearing a wig! But I don't think it looked that bad", he laughs!

British life and culture


In my opinion it is very important to teach children the culture of the United Kingdom. You can see this in the English students' books.
As teachers , may be you will need to have information such as: the Union Jack
As parents if you want to help your children with their homework or if you are an student and you have to prepare a project about Britain , in this site you have excellent information in an easy way to read . Project Britain

Surfing the web you can find excellent pages such as learningkids from the British Council. Here you can find activities, games, songs, animated stories and flashcards to print and more things for children.
It is an interesting site to visit for teachers and parents.
For teachers is a "must" and for parents a wonderful place to find ideas to help your children in the wonderful process of learning a language
