Radio station visits Yeading school

LIVE broadcasts were made by students and their parents after a radio station paid a visit to their school.
Presenters from Panjab Radio met children at Yeading Infant School in Carlyon Road, Yeading, and the students went on air shortly after school finished at 3.30pm.

The event was organised as part of an Information Technology week at the school which ran from July 14 to July 18 and aimed to encourage children to learn more about the subject.

Morag Blair, IT co-ordinator at the school, said: "The children just loved the whole idea that people somewhere were listening to them, which they thought was pretty cool.

"We also had bhangra music later on in the afternoon, we decided to give the event an Asian theme because there are a high proportion of Asian children at our school and we thought that this would be something they would enjoy."

She explained that the school were also running the ICT week to celebrate their new website which will be launched in September and will give parents the chance to access information about the school and allow children to find out about homework and useful links.
