North Clwyd Animal Rescue Last year’s Festive Walk! NORTH Clwyd Animal Rescue, based in Holywell, is a charity that looks after cats, dogs and other animals and helps them to find good homes. North Clwyd Animal Rescue helps animals that have behaviour problems and they help pet owners to be kind and good owners. The charity gives owners information on dogs and other animals to do this. You can get involved with North Clwyd Animal Rescue by helping with their Festive Walks on Christmas Day, at 10.30am, and Boxing Day, at 12.30pm. The Festive Walks last one to two hours and include a quick stop in the village of Llanasa for tea, coffee and treats.

ARE you bored this Christmas? Are you in need of some serious boredom-quelling help? Well, luckily for you, this article is jam-packed full of activities to quench your thirst for fun! First off, let’s take a look at Ewloe Castle, a stunning centuries-old stone ruin in the very heart of Wepre Park’s epic hike and beautiful scenery. As this splendid attraction has been deemed pet friendly, as well as family friendly, this ancient ruin is the perfect place to visit for a fun day out, or just a spectacular place to bring a picnic. Next comes a great way to exercise and get into the Christmas spirit. Of course you’ve guessed – the Mold Santa Dash! Take off your uniform, dress up like Father Christmas and run, jog or walk along the streets of Mold. Starting at Daniel Owen Square on 11th December, there is a warm-up at 10.30am and the race starts at 11.30am. So get off the sofa, away from the TV and down to Mold! Are you one of those people who doesn’t spend their time studying, playing or watching sports or playing on a games console? Are you one of those people who just love shopping? If this is you, then maybe, this Christmas, you should make your way down to Chester’s Winter Market which is on from 18th November to 18th December. With plenty to see and do, this is the perfect opportunity to do your Christmas shopping, or just have a look around! Finally, last, but certainly not least, why not pop along to Chester’s very own mid-Winter watch parade? A fun and exciting celebrationn to commemorate the original ‘handing over of the keys’ ceremony which took place years previously, this epic celebration takes place on 7th December and consists of the Karamba Samba, The Lord of Misrule, Cooks Band, Devils, Dragons, Angel and the Tree of Life and is definitely worth a visit to Chester for a scare that will have you craving more action!

Fresh Off the Charts header and the following text: Reviews of the latest music, films, books and games by our Adlais Elfed Echo reporters. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child HARRY Potter and the Cursed Child is an excellent playscript that continues on the bestselling Harry Potter series where J. K. Rowling, the original author of the last series, left off. If you can’t remember, they are all on Platform 9 ¾, as Harry bids farewell to his son as he leaves for Hogwarts. The next thrilling story, in the form of a play script, takes the readers on an unimaginable ride, which travels through space and time itself! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this amazing read to any former Harry Potter fan, and new readers, as the style is great and the character development is unbelievable! Shout Out to My Ex LITTLE Mix’s new single, Shout Out to My Ex, is a catchy, fun tune that is a real ‘girly’ song. Musically, it’s quite average because it is very similar to most music that is popular at the moment. However, Little Mix has a unique sound that is cheery, uplifting and instantly recognisable to anyone who has heard their music before. It is quite different to Black Magic, another of their hits, but, in my opinion, they are both as good as each other. Black Magic is supposed to be fun, but a bit mysterious and interesting as well, whereas in Shout Out to My Ex the story is clear – the singer wants her ex-boyfriend to know that she is over him and she wants him out of her life. One of the lines in the song is, “I swear you’lll never bring me down” so I assume she doesn’t care about him anymore. I enjoyed the song and I think other girls of all ages will too. Best Fiends Forever BEST Fiends Forever is a sequel to Best Fiends, a puzzle adventure game; however, this game takes on a much different approach. In this game, you must battle through an army of slugs that have captured the creatures that once lived in harmony. You do this by tapping on the screen repeatedly. As you progress through the many levels of the game, you can release creatures that can help you along the way. With every enemy you defeat, you collect coins that you can use to upgrade your creatures to make them more powerful which is very useful as, the further you go, the tougher the enemies are to beat. The game is very fast-paced, yet it is still one you can play on and off throughout the day because it will still collect coins when you are away from the game. Overall, Best Fiends Forever is a very fun and addictive game that will keep you hooked for a long time. Lucy’s Web IF YOU are worried about internet safety, or not too good at computing, especially social media, then you should grab a copy of the new book, Lucy’s Web. Written by up and coming author, Charles Conway, who has also written three adult books, and been nominated (and shortlisted) twice for the ‘Making the Internet Safer’ category of the Nominet Internet Awards, this book contains six short stories designed to make the reader more aware of internet safety. This helpful and unique book is available as an eBook on Kindle or on Amazon for £5.99. And there’s more - if you complete these novels, there is a preview of another short story from the author’s next book, Steve’s Web, which is soon to be released! Zootropolis Castle in the Sky - Animé Club Review A YOUNG girl named Sheeta is a descendent from the magical castle in the sky, ‘Lupita.’ She is the beholder of an ancient, exquisite necklace that has supernatural powers and she is completely unaware of this. The military are hunting Sheeta down because they want to use Sheeta’s necklace’s powers for their own personal gain. She meets a young boy named Pazu. He quickly discovers why she is in danger and decides to help her. As they are venturing across the land, they discover pirates. They think that the army is going to stop the pirates but they both realise that the leader of the army is actually the enemy, not the pirates. The army leader betrays his army and takes Sheeta captive. The army, the pirates and Pazu are all in a race against time to find the castle in the sky. Unfortunately, the pirates are captured and, somehow, Pazu has to rescue the pirates and Sheeta before time runs out! By Sam Cave, Haydon Rowe, Jacob Armstrong and Jake Ayriss OUR favourite animal-related film is Zootropolis because it is very funny and the animation is great. The story is based in the town of Zootopia, which is set in a city inhabited by all different species of animals. The storyline follows a rabbit called Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) who wants to pursue her dreams as a police officer. When she gets the opportunity to do a mission, she finds herself being paired up with a fox called Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman). Will she succeed or fail in this mysterious mission?
