Hilltop Infant School, Essex

4-year-olds

The children were encouraged to imagine themselves stepping into the picture. Having talked about the river and the castle they would have passed on their journey with Tobias, they were asked to think about the sounds they might have heard.

They thought about how the sounds could be made, experimenting with moving water around, pouring it from various heights, and walking across different surfaces to represent Tobias' footsteps. They imagined that a royal family lived in the castle and that hidden crowds would be hailing the king and queen. Their soundtrack can be heard on the film.
