Learning happens in lots of different ways. Sometimes you need to learn a song but you may only have one rehearsal per week - podcasting is the answer! You can now have as many rehearsals per week as you want because your rehearsal music is always available to you on-line via Radio Peterbrook!! Let's get singing - enjoy!!
Anna and Bethany are little learners in Reception and they both love to sing. They have decided to sing for you a song called 'Fairytale'. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to sing into a microphone when you are only 5 years old!! They sound wonderful - enjoy!!
Well here we are with another opportunity for our children to listen closely to a regular sound that can be heard at our school every day. Can you guess the sound? As part of our 'Speaking & Listening' programme of activities, our monthly 'Guess the Sound' listening game is fun but it also helps us to focus our concentration and really listen! Have a go!! Last month's winner was RIANNA ELSMORE of Year 4. I wonder who will win our listening game this time? CONGRATULATIONS to OLIVIA-MAE JEYNES who successfully identified the sound as collecting a knife, fork, spoon and tray for lunch in the Infant Hall!! Well done!!
Reuben loves stories and he really enjoys retelling them from his memory, that is quite a big challenge when you are only 5 years old!! Add character, personality and enthusiasm and what do you get? You get .... Reuben retelling his story!!
Hannah loves to read and she is always willing to read a story for you. This is quite a challenge when you are only 4 years old and facing a teacher holding a microphone!! What a confident little girl and guess what .... Hannah's super story about a spider .... she wrote it last week. Enjoy!!
Leah loves to sing and guess what ..... you have to be confident to sing in front of a microphone! Leah sings for us wonderfully, and in '1 take' too!!
'Little Learners' channel is all about having a go to develop your listening and speaking skills! Harrison's joke is amazing - you've got to be confident to be a 'stand-up comic'!!
Exactly one year ago today our Year 6 children were sitting their final SAT's test paper in the morning before jetting off to China on an 8 day performance tour to our partner school in Beijing - AnZhen No.1 Primary School!! Today only 5 of the 12 members of the cast of 'The Statue of the Ancient Hero' are still pupils at Peterbrook - they were in Year 5 then - Demia, Charlotte, Megan, Saffron and Tyler. Listen as we recall our magical moments from the visit - the experience changed them forever. Enjoy!!
Listening and speaking are so important in our learning because it is from mastering these skills that we are able to move onto reading and writing effectively. Today Mrs. Hashdi has set the children a listening task where she reads a story, 'The Rainbow Fish', to them which involves them forming an opinion for themselves. 'Conscience Alley' is a tried and tested technique used for exploring two sides of an argument, or debate, or dilemma. What will be the outcome for the 'walking down conscience alley'? Let's listen carefully.

Well here we are with another opportunity for our children to listen closely to a regular sound that can be heard at our school every day. Can you guess the sound? As part of our 'Speaking & Listening' programme of activities, our monthly 'Guess the Sound' listening game is fun but it also helps us to focus our concentration and really listen! Have a go!! Last month was CHARLEE COOPER of Year 4. I wonder who will win our listening game this time? CONGRATULATIONS to Year 4 pupil RIANNA ELSMORE who correctly identified the sound as 'switching on and off the air fan in the ICT room'!! Well done and I'm sure Rianna will enjoy her super prize of a large box of 'Celebrations' chocolates! Yum-yum!!
A few weeks ago our pupils in Year 5 baked bread in Food Technology. They enjoyed it so much that they decided to write, for homework, funny stories involving bread, dough, breadcrumbs, crusts, etc. The outcome was amazing, with the result that several funny stories were linked together to create a crazy bread radio news bulletin!! The character of Dr. Dark became the central figure for the whole piece, and after scripting, rehearsing, recording and editing, the children decided that they would like to broadcast their 'newsflash' on Wednesday 1st April, to the whole school - 'April Fool's Day' - TODAY!! Mr. McGaw set the scene and created the 'serious' backdrop for a series of 'bread incidents' to take place!! Our audience of 400+ children sighed with relief when they realised it was just a funny game by Year 5. The broadcast is really well performed by our 10 pupil radio actors and Miss Hills!! Enjoy!!
It's Easter time once again and time for our Year 5 pupils to make their annual visit to St. James' Church. It is always a very interesting visit as our pupils see adults in role re-enact the story of Easter. This year interviewer Rahul Jina is able to share with us the atmosphere of the day.
