Nicolle Arams, a producer with CBC Radio, sent me the following message about our Point of View Episode about second chances:

Brilliant!
thank you for doing this so well & so quickly.
It will fit into the show which will air between 6-8:30 on the morning of January 2.
I may break it into segments but am still in the editing process and not sure which way I’ll go with it.
But tell the kids to have a listen if they can on the 2nd of January, while their parents are probably still asleep!

Best to you and everyone at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School!!!!

Happy Holidays!

With the new year almost here, the kids from Portable Radio have been thinking about second chances.  Should we get them?  Are they important?

Here are our opinions.

Four students in Grade 5NT worked very hard to pull this off.  From 12:15 to 1:00 they worked together to write a script, rehearse and record their opinion on the jersey/sweater “debate”. Then, Mr. Toft mixed in the POV theme music and emailed Laurence Wall at CBC radio around 2:00.  By 4:35 pm our voices made it on air!

Congratulations and well done everyone!

Thanks to Mr. Wall for sending us an audio file and giving us permission to share how we sounded on All in a Day.

Yesterday, on CBC’s All in a Day, news producer Laurence Wall commented about seeing a sign that read “New Jersey, Same Passion”. The sign was referring to a new logo from Hockey Canada. He speculated that Canadian kids didn’t refer to this piece of hockey clothing as a “jersey” but as a “sweater”.  The students from Portable Radio put together this response.
