Fifth and sixth class had a very exciting few weeks before Christmas, taking part in @Kidcast Podcast School Tour. It was a super learning experience, looking at literacy in a completely different way. We experienced working as script writers, editors, producers, researchers, directors, graphic designers, music directors, and of course presenter and guests!

We worked on the topic of PE, naming our podcast ‘Phizz Ed’! Gaelic football is very close to hearts here in Garrymore and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to interview Mayo football manager, Kevin McStay! Kevin joined us via zoom and we had a very insightful interview about his job! You’ll have to follow the link to hear all the hints and tips for becoming a county player!

We are very thankful to Céire O’Donoghue for sharing her wealth of knowledge and visiting our class to prepare for recording our podcast.

We also want to thank @RTEjr. for the opportunity to take part in such wonderful experience.

We had a podcast party on launch day, where we celebrated our work with some chocolate cake!

Well done 5th and 6th class! Enjoy everybody!
