A Norfolk council is using an interactive projector to support children and their families during lockdown.
Thorpe St Andrew Town Council opened the plantation grounds during the summer months as a safe place for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to play and to let off steam.
Roxley Hall, on Yarmouth Road, is open on Monday/Tuesday or Thursday for families to book to use a Tovertel Magic Table, a giant projector that shows a series of games and interactive activities.
Its purpose is to promote eye/hand connectivity, but also enjoy the visual and hearing aspects.
Town Mayor John Fisher said: “We continue to recognise that these families are experiencing greater challenges during the coronavirus lockdown.
