Overview

A wonderful ILEA film for primary schools following a small girl Kim. It encourages viewers to look at the streets around them and note different shapes – of windows, pub signs and gables – as well as things as diverse as shopfronts, coal holes, weathervanes, bollards and chimneys. Also explores touch, smell and sound, with a competition asking children to identify street sounds and smells. No locations specified, but possibly includes scenes from Wandsworth and Stepney.
