Brigshaw - connecting communities
Posted by helen on March 8, 2008 – 10:37 amToday me and emma went to Brigshaw High School to help Adrian teach year 7 and year 6 kids about how to make radio and podcasts. It was very exciting because me and emma hadnt been to Brigshaw before and we got to miss school!
When we started we got asked questions by the children about things theyd like to know about us. It was so they could understand what were good questions and bad questions and how to do follow-up questions.
Then they split into groups and had to interview a teacher. I was in the studio and recorded 4 of the groups interviewing teachers and they were all really good and really interesting.
Then we had lunch 
it was really nice. i had egg sandwichs, some square potato things and a flapjack and a muffin it was yummy.
Then when we went back and the groups began to start planning their podcasts about another workshop going on. I started to help with a group podcasting the percussion session. we went down and recorded some drumming. Then when i got back i had to go help with another group but they were sorted so i just chilled and listen to some interviews already recorded. But then another group needed me to do recording so i went and everyone looked at me strange as i walked down the corridor because i had a big microphone :). Then we ran to chat to the percussionists because they had no time earlier to be interviewed, but then we ran out of batteries so emma (being very lazy) sent me to get more.
We were exhuasted afterwards so we sat through the evaluation and then got adrian’s sat nav to drive us home
I had a really fun time, thank you adrian for asking me to come and help!

As the Drama facilitator on the day, i want to say what a joy it was working at the school, the pupils from all three schools were great, so energetic and positive. From hearing the podcasts and reading the write up, it sounds like a good time was had by all.

I was one of the contemporary dance instructors and really enjoyed my day at Brigshaw. The children, both boys and girls worked really hard, particularly as I think some haven’t necessarily tried the style of dance and choreographing (creating) dance before. Thanks for letting Ascendance Rep be a part of the day!
