BSB Radio Show
Update
The Radio show has been
running smoothly during
the last weeks of spring
term and the team has now
recorded for four weeks in a
row since the summer term
started.
During this time the students have got better and
better at writing the script and recording; they can
now capture the essential details within a piece of
international news and can write news about events
happening in school entirely by themselves. New
topics have been added, such as ‘A Famous Person’
and ‘A Place on Earth’; one of the radio team
members writes and records a short description
of a famous person or place on Earth in order for
the listeners to guess who or what it is. The latest
addition to our topics was ‘Poem of the Day’,
chosen and read by one of the students recording
the show; for the future, the team is looking at the
possibility of recording poems written by students.

The greatest achievement however was being able
to record an interview while speaking freely, without
depending on a script at all, asking questions and
analyzing answers; the last interview turned into
a real debate, which was recorded, much to the
students’ delight, as they were not aware that the
microphone was on.
The process of creating the show is still monitored
by the teacher, but the students now have a much
bigger input into the show. The editing mechanism
is still something to be experienced and learnt; until
then, we have Mr Stefan to thank for his patience
and help.
Very soon, all the recorded shows, edited and
sound improved, will be available on the school
server for everyone; the shows will also be played
during lunch for the other children to listen to their
colleagues, now radio professionals, and enjoy the
Top Three Tunes of different weeks.
Last but not least, the members of the radio team,
Tatum, Rhys, Basil, Megan and Johann (Years 6D
and 6U) deserve to be congratulated for their hard
work, patience, drive, and significant progress.
“You had your time, you had your power
You’ve yet to have your finest hour
Radio…
All we hear is radio ga-ga, radio gu-gu, radio ga-ga
Radio, what’s new?
Someone still loves you… “

3P Perform
‘Brush’ in
Key Stage 2
Assembly
The script of ‘Brush’ was written with the
thought of illustrating the importance of
school. It is the story of a little boy whose
artistic talent, though inside himself from the
moment he is born, can only be nourished
within school, through learning. The boy
is suggestively named Brush, as that’s the
artistic area that he is gifted in.
Year 3P rehearsing the ‘Brush’ play
Year 3P was very patient and did a wonderful
job learning their lines. I have always thought
that the rehearsals process can become dull
for young children and it can therefore keep
them from learning; it is sometimes difficult
for professional actors, let alone for Year 3
students! However, the class managed to sit
through rehearsals quietly, to learn the lines
and act, and convey not only a story, but also
its meaning. They learned to be a team.
The most enjoyable part was the final song, a
classic – ‘Swinging on a Star’. The lyrics made
this song an excellent choice for the finishing
part of the play, and the show ended in
everyone’s excited applause.
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule!
Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig?
