Win a Furby Boom worth £59.99 in time for Christmas – Furby has also landed at London Zoo!
Sep 20 2013Featuring all the ‘magic’ and personality of its predecessor plus twice the content, the new Furby Boom creature combines entertaining physical and digital play including the ability to hatch digital Furbling friends and take kids on a digital adventure via a free bespoke app as they raise, care for and play games with their playmate. As owners play with and care for their Furby Boom they will earn colourful virtual eggs that in time will each hatch and become a Furbling virtual friend. Both owners and Furby Boom can feed, play and interact with the virtual Furbling creatures who speak both English and Furbish.
Pedestrian pound could save our high streets
Sep 20 2013National charity that stands up for pedestrians, Living Streets, is calling on the Government to invest £500m in our town centres in order to encourage people to walk to their local shops, boost trade and revive our high streets. Well planned improvements to public spaces can raise footfall and trading by up to 40% says the charity’s new report, The Pedestrian Pound: the business case for better streets and places, published today (20 September 2013).
Journeys | Weekly Photography Challenge
Sep 20 2013This weekly photo challenge is deigned to complement our free online photography basics classes. Each week we will set a different theme and your homework is to go out and photograph a collection of images related to that theme.
You can start this challenge whenever you like and do the different themes in any order you see fit. Think of these challenges as a photography workout. Don’t just do them once and not revisit them. If you do start these challenges as you begin our online basics classes then in a few months why not revisit older challenges to see how much better a photographer you have become.
