Radio treat for Staffordshire pupils signals fun
Children at a school in Staffordshire hit the airwaves as part of a radio workshop.
Free Radio visited Five Ways Primary School in Langholm Drive, Heath Hayes, to put the youngsters' communication skills to the test.
Pupils got the chance to use real equipment used in the radio station's studio and learn the roles of a radio presenter, newsreader and weather reporter. The event was organised by recruitment teaching agency Aspire People.
Steven Delves, from Aspire, said: "It's a way of bringing new ideas and introducing new things to school."
Rebecca Elms, a Year 6 teacher, said: "There were around 12 children who took part. The children thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a fantastic experience for all of them. We have quite a lot of people coming in but this is the first time the children have ever done anything like this before. And something like this might help them think about what they want to do for a career."
