Year 4 spent a fantastic morning at OpenZone at The Word where they enjoyed a Podcasting workshop learning how to use the GarageBand app.

The children have been learning how to create newspaper reports based on an alternative account of the traditional tale ‘The Three Little Pigs’.  They watched a video as stimulus which sparked their imagination and enthusiasm for the topic.  Following on from the video, the children worked in pairs to prepare a script to use in a podcast, discussing the events of the video in an interview scenario.

During the workshop, the children learnt how to record audio, edit the audio file, add music and sound, fade in and out, and upload their files.

We will further refine these files and develop our podcasting skills using GarageBand over the coming weeks.
