SOCIAL story
I’m going to The Courtyard to watch a film.
The Courtyard is a big building with lots of glass that has a theatre, cinema and café inside.
This is what it looks like from outside.
If I arrive by car, bus or bike then I go to the car park and see the building from behind which looks like this…
I may have to wait in a queue but I won’t have to wait too long.
There is a Cafe and a restaurant at The Courtyard
This is where I will go to buy food and drinks if I need them.
There are toilets on the ground floor and on the first floor.
I can go to the toilet whenever I need to.
The film will be in the Nell Gwynne Studio which looks like this...
The film will start at 3.30pm but I can go into the Nell Gwynne Studio from 2.30pm to look around if I like.
There will be bean bags, sofas or chairs for me to sit on and I can choose where I sit.
When the film starts it will go a little bit darker (but not completely dark) and it will be a little noisy (but not too loud).
Words will appear on the bottom of the screen as the characters talk. These are called subtitles. Subtitles help people who cannot hear well or struggle to follow conversations to understand what is happening in the film.
The film is called The Polar Express
The film is about a young boy who embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express, while learning about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas.
If I want to take a break from the film, I can leave the Nell Gwynne Studio and go to the Chill Out Area in Meeting Room 1. It will be quiet in there.
I can return to the Nell Gwynne Studio when I am ready.
There will be colouring in sheets which I can take to the Nell Gwynne Studio to complete as I watch this film if I would like to.
When
the film has finished the lights will get a little brighter and I will leave the Nell Gwynne Studio.
