Dinosaur World Live, an interactive show for all the family which brings dinosaurs to life on stage, comes to The Core at Corby Cube this

autumn, on Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 September.

Following a hugely successful UK tour last year, Dinosaur World Live has taken to the road again due to popular demand, now featuring a brand new Triceratops, in a tour that includes a 4-week summer season at

Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre in London.

Dinosaur World Live presents a host of impressive pre-historic creatures including every child's favourite flesh-eating giant, the Tyrannosaurus

Rex, along with a Giraffatitan, Microraptor, Segnosaurus and Triceratops.

For anyone looking for fun things to do with the kids, Dinosaur World Live delivers an entertaining and educational live show that promises to delight the whole family, from ages 3 and upwards. Each performance is followed by a post-show meet and greet where audience members have

the opportunity to meet some of the dinosaurs in person.

Tickets can be booked by calling the Ticket Office on 01536 470 470 or online at www.thecorecorby.com. Dino-lovers are urged to book fast

before tickets become extinct!

Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-based saucepan

with a tight-fitting lid. Add the popping corn, put the lid

on, and shake the pan to coat the kernels in the oil.

Put the pan over a medium-high heat. The kernels will

begin to pop — when they do, carefully shake the pan

occasionally.

When the popping subsides, remove from the heat. Cool

for 10 minutes, then add the pir-piri season-

ing and pomegranate seeds and a little black pepper,

stirring them through. Share between 4 small bowls and

serve.

2 tsp vegetable oil

160g popping corn

1 tsp piri-piri seasoning

100g ready-prepared fresh pomegranate seeds

Freshly ground black pepper

Piri-piri pomegranate popcorn

The Keep Safe Card is a countywide scheme which helps people with any disability or illness which may make them vulnerable feel safe and secure when out

and about.

The Keep Safe Scheme was initially launched in 2011 for people with learning disabilities. It proved a popular way for card holders and their families to feel safe when they were out and about. Many other organisations were keen to be able to provide the card to their service users and so with financial support from Northamptonshire’s Police and

Crime Commissioner, the scheme was relaunched in April 2018.

The expansion of the scheme has enabled new member organisations to sign up as key partners. These organisations include Age UK, Autism East Midlands, Mind, Northamptonshire Association for the Blind, Northamptonshire County Council, Northamptonshire Carers and North-

amptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust.

The project encourages people with a disability, people who experience mental illness, or people who may be vulnerable, to sign up as Keep Safe Card holders. When they register they are provided a Keep Safe Card, which holds some basic details about the person's needs as well as contact details for people close to them, such as family or carers, who can be telephoned in an emergency. The card also gives an idea of how best to

help and communicate with the card holder.

The card can then be shown whenever the holder feels lost, bullied, worried about their safety or in need of assistance in any way and helps us

understand their needs if they are in crisis.

Help may be found in shops, libraries, leisure centres, GP surgeries or anywhere a person feels they can ask for support. The three emergency services, police, fire and ambulance, will also be able to access the

information to be able to support the person in the best possible way.

Celebrating Age in Northamptonshire

Fruit and vegetables are a great source of vitamins,

minerals and fibre, and are an important part of a

healthy, balanced diet.

Eating plenty of fruit and veg helps keep us healthy,

and may reduce the risk of disease and some

cancers.

For kids, the amount they should eat depends on

their size and age. As a rough guide, one portion is

the amount they can fit in the palm of their hand.

For adults, a portion is 80g fruit:

That's a large slice of fruit like melon or pineapple

One medium apple, banana or pear

Two smaller fruits like plums or satsumas

Seven strawberries or 20 raspberries

One handful of grapes

Or 30g dried fruit

One heaped tablespoon of dried fruit, such as

raisins, cherries or dates

Or 80g of vegetables:

That's three heaped tablespoons of peas, beans

or pulses

Three heaped tablespoons of veggies like sliced

carrots, mixed vegetables or corn

Four heaped tablespoons of cooked green veg-

gies like cabbage and spring greens

Two spears of broccoli or one medium tomato

A dessert bowl of salad greens
