Northwood Park Anti-Bullying podcast
Today, Mr. Porter and I have been podcasting with Y5 students from Northwood Park Primary in the Bushbury area of Wolverhampton.
Two weeks ago, the school had a visit from a drama group called Gazebo, who performed a play about the terrible effects that bullying can have on school children. The students therefore decided to base their podcast around the theme of anti-bullying. The podcast includes:
- a news report on the visit of the Gazebo Drama Group
- a radio play on the bullying problems of a new girl arriving in a Primary School
- Richard Vaguely’s radio phone-in with Agony Aunt Brenda Loveheart.
We hope that you enjoy listening to the podcast. Remember to add your comments by clicking on the podcast title (’Northwood Park Anti-Bullying podcast’) and filling in the comment form.

Tips for a successful school podcast - new article
I’ve been intending for some time to bring together in one place some of the podcasting ideas that Mr. Porter and I have picked up as we’ve been moving round the schools. I’ve finally got round to doing it! I’ve just posted an article entitled “Tips for a successful school podcast” onto the blog section of the City Learning Centre website. The article contains audio clips from some of the Learning2Go podcasts, used to illustrate some of the ideas I think work.
(Note: unfortunately, the audio clips contained in the article won’t play back in the browser on your PDA; you’ll need to read the article on a desktop PC to play them back)
