New Voices on Ocean Youth Radio: Roselands School Year 6
Over the past few weeks, as part of the RadioAhead project supported by BBC Children in Need, we’ve been working with 10 enthusiastic pupils from Roselands Primary School.
During their weekly radio sessions, the children planned, recorded, and produced their very own radio show, sharing their experiences and insights into school life as Year 6 students. The show was recorded at their school and captures their voices, creativity, and confidence as young broadcasters.
Their show will be airing on Ocean Youth Radio this week, with daily repeats on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 2:45pm and 6:00pm.
Be sure to tune in and support these amazing young presenters as they make their radio debut!
