This week 5/6JS and 5/6NT read an article about a cell phone company in Europe that is marketing its phones to kids 5 years old. We read the article and watched several news stories about the issue of when are kids old enough to have their own cell phones. Listen to hear our opinions on the subject.

Our Point of View was played on CBC’s Ottawa Morning today. Here’s what it sounded like:
Episode 10 was completed on yet another snow day. Buses were cancelled due to snow and freezing rain - so we only had a handful of students. Even Mr. Toft didn’t make it in this time.
In this episode we have a report from Charles about a volleyball tournament at our school. Lindsay and Allie bring us some sound about navigation from their Grade 6 field trip to the aviation museum We also have a couple of public service announcements about drugs and alcohol. Remi brings his second episode about rocks and minerals. Robin finds out what our classes think about the Ottawa Senators coach being fired. Listen for Tyrell playing Finger Eleven on electric guitar. Ryan and Taylor bring us a report about recess football. Finally, we have voicemail from a Carleton University journalism student who is hoping to film a documentary about how we make podcasts.
All of the following music comes from the Podsafe Music Network:
WW - Greenroom
Spy Beats - Greenroom
Sizzle - Lee Brooks
Blues Garden - F11

On these days when buses are cancelled, those of us hardy enough to come to school have been asking the question: Is it better to stay in town or go away during March break.
The students behind Portable Radio have some opinions about this question.
