| Summary: | One of the main concerns with the school was to develop speaking and listening skills, and also to give the children a reason for writing. Podcasting has fulfilled both of those requirements. That's according to Headteacher Noreen Curphey.This programme looks at how staff at Weston Point Community Primary School in Runcorn have adopted podcasting across several subjects, contributing to a rise from 11% to 50% of pupils achieving level 5 at KS2 English. Year 6 teacher Pat Murphy leads her pupils in recording their own podcast on the back of an Isle of Wight project. With the help of the school's deputy head and ICT co-ordinator Chris Bayne she can quickly and easily input and edit clips, and upload the podcast to the internet. Year 5 teacher Tom Paul helps his pupils plan and record a video podcast in French using puppets, and we hear from the children about how podcasting has boosted their confidence and improved their learning |
