A fantastic activity from Playboard Northern Ireland.

A great game that helps develop oral language skills and can be adapted and used in so many way. This is thanks to Playboard, a Northern Ireland website.

The Harry Potter: A History of Magic exhibit at the British Museum in London has been made available online through Google Arts & Culture. It includes a range of reading materials, videos and interactive tutorials across a wide range of subjects relating to the world-famous series of books written by JK Rowling. The “recipe” for creating a Philosopher’s Stone, a look at the history of magic across the world, an in-depth interview and masterclass with the illustrator of the books Jim Kay, the early sketches and notes of Rowling herself and even the opportunity to take a host of lessons ranging across the Hogwarts curriculum, including Potions, Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts. The exhibition is available free of charge on the British Library website.
