THE RADIO CLUBWest Jesmond Primary School has had a radio show for the last three years. Set up by teacher Deborah Hainsworth whilst she was studying for a Masters, the Radio Club is open to any year 6 pupil who wants to learn more about broadcasting. The club follows on from a media topic that all the children do in year 5, putting together a project in 10 lessons that includes jingles and a news programme.

Originally the show was only broadcast to the school playground, but 2 and a half years ago the decision was taken to record it and put it online so others can listen in. Shows are recorded every Thursday in term time and can be heard at www.westjesmondradio.co.uk.

The hard work of Deborah and others is clearly paying off. Already they've been able to share what they've learned at a conference and through that inspired another Newcastle primary school to start a weekly radio show. Along with that, the children clearly enjoy being part of the radio club and many of them say they want to go into broadcasting in the future. Some are even hoping to go into acting and movies. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen, but that there is clearly a keen group of children emerging from West Jesmond Primary School every year with a great understanding of broadcasting and journalism and a real desire to put that knowledge into practice.

Kids on Air is a combined project between Master's degree students from Newcastle University and the staff and children of the Radio Club at West Jesmond Primary School. Over several meetings we met and discussed possibilities of stories to cover and through that have managed to produce this magazine and an accompanying website. We hope you enjoy the content and learning about the wonderful efforts taking place at West Jesmond to help get KidsonAir!

AIRON

Our First Meeting with The Kids

When we were firstly approached by Raquel, the main coordinator of the KidsOnAir project , who was in charge of recruiting the team, we were all very excited and thrilled to have this opportunity to work with the “future minds” of the industry.

Working with children is a challenge and our first meeting with them was no exception from this rule. On the ….of November, our group of seven, accompanied by Mr. Baines, headed to West Jesmond Primary to kick off our project by meeting the kids . The first step was taken Deborah Hainsworth , the teacher in charge of the radio club, greeted us at the entrance and led us to the music room . Keeping in mind that we are working w i t h c h i l d r e n , Deborah gave us a few directions and guidelines to follow. S h e a l s o p o i n t e d o u t t h a t s o m e o f t h e c h i l d r e n a r e not to be filmed or photographed due to their parent’s wish to protect their privacy.

With that in mind, we wai ted for the c h i l d r e n t o c o m e along anticipating the first encounter. Were we nervous? A bit, we would have to confess! Our entrance to the school was not exactly what you would call “smooth”, due to the Year One’s throwing balls of mud on our heads, apparently to welcome us to their school. So it is fair to say that our fingers were crossed for smoother sailing this time because one thing is certain; if kids don’t like you they will make sure that you know it!

A group of 20 kids barged into the room, making us clearly outnumbered! The energy immediately filled the room and their little eyes wondered around inspecting us, Mr. Baines and finally fixing on the camera in the centre of the room. Deborah tried to settle the children down and seated them on their chairs for the introductions to be made. After sitting in a big circle every child had the opportunity to introduce him/

herself and add any other information they think relevant. Some of them simply gave their name and grade while others, like Lilly, shared a little bit more by telling us the name of her “best friend in whole wide world”. They were all very excited about the project and eager to tell us all about the Radio Club.

Then came the dreadful task of introducing ourselves to them. What if they don’t like us and booed while we spoke? Or even worse…What if they laughed at us? The first graders were surely not that fond of us. So why should they be our worries couldn’t be more absurd. They LOVED us. Whenever any of us mentioned were he or she came from, the kids opened their jaws in awe and hailed dozens of questions about

how is it like to live in China, Greece, Spain and Saudi Arabia.

They went on telling us about how they u s u a l l y c h o o s e t h e t o p i c s f o r t h e broadcasts and what m o t i v a t e d t h e m to take part in this particular club. Some w e r e i n i t f o r t h e “fame” and “glory” of broadcasting their v o i c e a c r o s s t h e p l a y g r o u n d , e v e n aspiring to one day

become a celebrity. Others were in it simply because they thought it was fun. One of the girls shared proudly with us that her mother is a journalist and works on the radio. That’s why she got involved in this club; to follow her mother’s footsteps.

We ended the meeting by giving the kids a chance to interview us. Their questions varied from the fundamental like “Why do you want to be a journalist?” all the way to the trivial “Where did you get your boots?” and we answered each one of them gladly.

All in all, our first meeting could not have gone any better than this. It was fun, informative and the time flew by which is always a good sign.(By Sissy Papadopoulou, Nora Abdulaziz, photo Mark Summers)

On the 23th January, ‘Kids on Air’ group members met kids from West Jesmond School at the Armstrong Building in Newcastle University. The aim was to discuss project issues and have a group chat with Chris Haywood.

Firstly, ‘Kids on Air’ team members took kids round the Culture Lab and introduced the project specifically then displayed previous projects on PowerPoint. The groups were then divided into two teams: Sports and Books & Films. In order to let all kids get involved in this project, the topics discussed were wide and varied, including their interests, their curiosities about journalism and what they expected to learn from this project. More importantly, Kids on Air members were able to answer questions in detail and build connections with them. On the one hand, in Books & Films division, children selected three favorite films and books and they hoped to tell their own stories and thoughts; On the other hand, Sports team hoped to concentrate more on basketball and fencing.

Chris Haywood said:” It is a good opportunity to learn those basic skills in journalism.”

This project aims to teach kids produce podcast series in Sports and Books & Films; they will broaden their horizons and strengthen their understandings in journalism, especially in Radio, and hopefully learn some basic multimedia skills. All videos and pictures are recorded during the whole process to present a final achievement.

Newcastle University has some of the best multimedia facilities on the UK, especially the Culture Lab, which has a wide range of fully equipped video cameras, professional voice recording equipment and editing rooms. In this context, students can utilize the convenient environment to create outstanding work. Kids on Air team members will direct the children on how to use equipment, how to tell stories with journalism and how to make stories more compelling.

We are postive sure that everyone would gain valuable knowledge through this fantastic project.(By Wenya Li, photo Mark Summers)

examples.

“Decide what approach you want to take,” said Haywood.

“If you ask more people, you’ll get an accurate answer to your question. This is Quantitative research,” said Haywood. “If you choose Qualitative research, you’ll ask less people and more in-depth questions.”

“First decide, who your sample is: everyone in Newcastle, everyone in your class, what age, what gender etc,” said Haywood.

Haywood also touched on topics related to survey questions. He stressed on the dos and don’ts while interviewing a subject. He told the kids to never pose a closed question to their subject.

“Always ask open questions. If you are researching about blind football, ask them to tell you about it. We want them to express their opinion,” said Haywood.

He warned the kids to stay away from using leading questions in their surveys, because leading questions forces people to answer them, essentially putting words into their mouths.

Later on Haywood played a small recording from a BBC radio show. He asked the kids to observe how the host of the show interviews a young boy, who is sought after by a few big football clubs in England. Much to the amusement of the kids, the young boy did not say more than two words because the radio host asked him a simple yes or no question. The interview is a prime example of the pitfalls of closed questions.

Towards the end of the lecture, the kids were also given a short introduction to ethics.

“Ask people if they want to be involved and tell them what your research is about,” said Haywood. He answered a few doubts raised by the kids regarding research, and signed off saying that “research should be fun and exciting”.(By Leela Prasad, photo Mark Summers)

recorders on the two tables. The kids were split into two groups of six – Books and Sports – for Dr Haywood’s master class on how to research on a topic for their weekly radio program.

Haywood asked the two groups to choose a topic on which they would like to research on. They chose unknown sports and history of books.

Haywood used an example to explain the intricacies of research, “I asked my friend David, ‘What is the best football team?’

“He sa id , i t i s Newcas t le Uni ted ,” exclaimed Haywood.Haywood asked the kids to analyse what is wrong with his friend’s answer. Four hands immediately shot up in the air.

“There could be be t te r t eams than Newcastle United,” said one of the children.

“Probably it is his favourite team,” said another.

Haywood explained that they cannot reach a conclusion that Newcastle United is the best football team without asking a larger audience. For the next 30 minutes, he taught the kids about the different types of research techniques. They were schooled in the basics of Quantitative and Qualitative research techniques using appropriate

The sun was still hiding behind the clouds; it had been a while since he made an appearance. It was like any other day in Newcastle, cold and windy, the sort of weather that would make one wear an extra layer of clothing to stay warm. On (Date), Mark Summers, Raquel Gomez and I set out walking towards West Jesmond Primary from Newcastle Univers i ty , a long wi th Dr . Chr i s Haywood.

We walked past the Robinson Library, ducked into the tunnel leading towards Jesmond, and took a detour to reach the primary school. The school was having its lunch break when we reached the gates of West Jesmond Primary. Kids were running around, chasing each other, squealing, laughing, and making all the noises that one would expect to hear in a playground. We were buzzed into the lobby of the school building by a lady sitting at the reception. We entered our details into a register, and were escorted into the music room.

Raquel wasted no time in setting up her camera on a tripod, Mark was cleaning his DLSR lens with a brush and I was absently tapping on the Bongos whilst others made themselves look busy. The kids quietly entered the room, one after the other, and I was shoved aside by Raquel because I was blocking her shot. I made myself useful by setting up audio

MEDIA PROFESSIONALMEETS CHILDREN

On 25 April, the kids from West Jesmond Radio came to Newcastle University

again, and this time they had a very entertaining master class with Alex Pascall.

Alex had a lot to share with the kids, especially because of his experience as a

radio broadcaster, most notably being the first regular Black radio voices in the

UK, presenting the programme Black Londoners on BBC Radio London for 14

years from 1974. Children would have known him from the other perspective,

including his work on the ‘Teletubbies’.

The presentation was divided into two parts, neither of which was like a regular

lecture. The kids gathered in a room in Culture Lab for the first 40 minutes, with

Alex sharing his personal stories in a interactive way, by asking simple questions

for every kid in the room like “Do you want to be someone else?”. Importantly he

emphasized that “building your own personality is so important.”

“What you don’t do is smash the lady’s foot.” Alex illustrated how to behave

properly for ballroom dancing; he taught the kids how to ask for each other a

dance in the first step by showing the attitude and gestures in front of a girl.

Following the dancing lesson, in a unique and dramatic performance Alex

presented a game of digging out the water from a coconut, with help from

three of the kids.

Then Alex took the children to a professional multi-media studio, where they

can got first-hand knowledge of using up-to-date facilities for producing

radio shows. Apart from the technology introduction, Alex also wanted to

give the kids an outline of how to handle interviews, which is a key factor

in the show. “How do you have a nice social chat?” is Alex’s first question

for the kids in the professional guidance session, and he told them how to

prepare before asking the questions for the interviewee. Tim was chosen for

being a host as a “quiet looking person” as Alex proposed. They hosted a

mock talk show together and Alex illustrated the interviewing skills step by

step during the ‘show’.

In the end, Alex performed the theme song of kids’ radio show together with

two volunteer keyboard players from West Jesmond School.

Alex PascallTell us about yourself...A Grenada-born broadcaster, journalist, musician and composer

Based in Britain for over 50 years, he was one of the developers of the Notting Hill Carnival, is a political campaigner and was part of the team behind the birth of Britain's first national black newspaper The Voice.

During his visit to Newcastle University as part of the Kids on Air project, Mr. Alex Pascall kindly agreed to answer our questions. As a former Chair of the Black Members’ Council of the National Union of Journalists and the host of the first black daily show on British radio he had many insights to share. His spontaneous nature and his direct answers made our interview even more interesting and enjoyable. Here’s what he had to say…

1.What is that first got you involved on Radio?

3.And why it was important to have a black radio programme?

2.Great!And what did you get from your experience presenting Black Londoners back in ’74?

A: Boxing and Winston Churchill…That combination isn’t it strange? Back home in Grenada in the Caribbean my father and all the elder men, when there was boxing or cricket, used to listen to the one radio in the close vicinity..and that man although the radio belonged to him, Mr. Wels, he had to turn the volume fully up so the whole community could use the radio. Very interesting, it’s a lovely way to look at radio. And I always remember hearing the voice of Sir Winston Churchil. Then people kept saying “Oh Alex your voice, you should do radio” and I never thought about radio.

A: In the days when Black Londoners started, even the name of the show questioned both sides; Black and White. But here you are the political thing has changed and now we are no more coloured. We are black in Britain. I am in a white community. It could be controversial but people would listen to it. They want to know what’s going on. And where the black people are concerned, some of them wouldn’t like it… the eldest…because they were called coloured and it became quite an inquisitive program and station because it was new…never been done before. There I was feeling my way from nowhere into the world of radio.

A: Well that’s where the experience started because nowadays when people have to apply to go into radio and television I’ve never applied. I was at home one Sunday and then the phone rang “Alex we are at a meeting and they are talking on a program about the black community and I’ve told them about you and everybody seem to know you. You’d better say yes that you want to do the program, otherwise I’ll may mash up meeting.”

5.Do you agree with what is being said that journalism nowadays is dying?

A: Yes and no. Journalism will only die if we don’t follow change. We are into a new era when people got it in their hands. No more could it be controlled by just a few - that I’ve never agreed with. Therefore, journalism cannot die. We are going into different forms of journalism now. Self publishing …we are doing that. Electronics help us to do things. I am pleased that some of those who controlled it like Murdoch and the other people are no more in full control. Journalism is not dying. The papers might die but journalism is alive.

6.Why did you take part to this project with the kids?

A: I love kids. I was a kid myself and I am still a kid inside. To understand kids, to be with kids, you’ve got to be a kid from inside. My mother made me like this. And the more I work with children, the more it means I can understand them and that I can then keep with the times. So for me, when I go to school, when I meet with these children, the messages I’m passing on are to me very important.

7.One last question… how important do you think it is to have such programs like Radio Club in schools?

A: There mus t me a beginning when knowledge takes different shape .We begin at home with our parents, the community. We are broadening ourselves by going to schools, colleges and then university. Isn’t this the best place to have it? There are lots of people who come in to universities, gain degrees and they are frightened of the microphone, they are frightened of the television. Therefore, the university is the most important place as a rounding up of the person to pitch them into that jungle we call the world, where you face dragons that you don’t see. That’s why I think it is so important meeting all these children meeting myself.

4.Could you talk us a little bit about the role that the Chair of the Black Members' Council of the National Union of Journalists plays?

A: It’s a role that I’m glad I managed to play a bit of it. It’s not an easy role because as a minority you have to hold a balance between what is called black …Africans, Carribeans, other blacks, minorities .There are people who, although politically called black, don’t want to be called black and would not join the

union for that reason. There are people who are within the union that question why we should have black members’ council but the reason for having it was to bring some sort of understanding, equality, education so that we can live together because cultures are different. Before I became the Chair and that the time when I became a Chair, things changed a lot. You are able to sit as a member of the NEC (National Executive Committee) and to say your points, listen to others, to take challenges and be very broad minded because in doing that sort of thing you have to be very broad minded.

Today we got to take a closer look on how does the Radio Club works as we attend one of the workshops conducted by the kids each week to provide content for their next broadcast.

This process is done weekly where the kids from Radio Club get together to discuss ideas about their upcoming show. Today’s topic was “book reviews”.

These Kids Will Definitely Get Five Stars from Us

(Excited school girls from West Jesmond Primary discussed their favourite book.)

Each review would include mentioning the book’s title and the author’s name ending with the kids’ thoughts and comments. Nevertheless, some groups surprised us by adding a rating system to their review and gave the books stars based on how good they were. They also included a “who do we recommend this for” section, mentioning the ages and the types of people to whom these books may appeal.

The least you can say about these kids is that they are professionals! After dividing into groups of three, they got down to business giving the sense of a true news room.Each member of the group suggested

a book to be reviewed and made his/her point to the others about why it should be picked. Meanwhile, one of them wrote down everything in a small white board.

There were heated discussions among the young journalists as each tried to convince their colleagues to settle on their selected novel.

We were most impressed by their vast knowledge of literature. A classic like Heidi for example was highly recommended by Sue, whilst others sang praises of modern literature like Frozen in Time by Ali Sparkes.

skulduggery Pleasant,A Must Read...One of the most impressive reviews came from Rupert and his group. They chose to review Skulduggery Pleasant: Mortal Coil by Derek Landy. They described it as “Exciting and nerve racking”! However, Rupert had an observation about it saying that some of the chapters were “a bit too short”. In his opinion, there should have been a cliff hanger at the end of the book, especially that “this book was followed by two sequels afterwards”. I have to say the kid does have a point!

Snakehead,Not to Be Missed...

Afterwards, we got the chance to chat with the kids about the reasons that motivated them to take part in the Radio Club. A lot of them had aspirations of pursuing this as a career when they grow up in the future, while others saw it as an opportunity to experience their fifteen minutes of fame.

After all, it is very tempting to hear your voice filling the silence of the hallways and drowning the noises of the crowds in the playground, who could resist that? I would join in a heartbeat! (By Nora Abdulaziz, Sissy Papadopoulou, photo MarkSummers)

A very professional review if I may say! I cannot believe that it came from a bunch of twelve year olds.The beehive-like news room went into complete silence as the recording process started. Each group elected a speaker to voice the review on the recording. Later on, these recordings will be broadcasted across the playground for the rest of the school to hear.

Snakehead by Anthony Horowitz got four and a half stars from Tim and his team describing it as “an emotionally compelling book”. They did have their remarks about one of the main characters in the book (Major Yu) describing him as an unrealistic character. They encouraged the listeners to read the novel as it would give them a lot of facts and information about different countries throughout the course of events in the novel. What made their review a success is that they came up with the idea of including a testimony from a reader (Alexander) who said: “it makes you want to turn the page and keep on reading and you don’t want to stop!”

FENCINGHISTORY

Fencing developed in Europe in the 17th century but stagnated after the decline of duelling. Training and technique later developed and were profoundly changed by the introduction of electronic scoring in the 1930s. It has featured as a sport in every modern day Olympics.

EQUIPMENT

Fencers use different swords depending on the rules being used and the competition. The foil is for light thrusting, an épée is a heavier sword also used for thrusting whilst a sabre is used mainly for cutting.Competitors wear protective suits, gloves and masks for their safety.

RULES

Competitors score points for every contact their weapon makes with their opponent. The score needed to win varies by competition. Types of contact vary with the sword, for example a foil only scores by touching the torso, whilst an épée fighter can also attack the arms.

Jonathan Land, a member of Newcastle University’s

fencing team, paid a visit to West Jesmond Primary

school on May 9th. He was invited to give an

introduction in fencing for the members of Kids on

Air radio show.

After the lunch break, 17 kids assembled inside the

school’s music room for the fencing session. Jonathan

requested for a volunteer to come forward and try on

his fencing kit. Lilly from grade6 obliged. “You have

to wear a fencing kit in a duel. If the sword snaps

it becomes sharp. Hence, we wear an extra layer

for protection, just in case the kit develops a tear,”

explained Jonathan to the kids.

Lilly tried on the fencing breeches, jacket, glove and

the mask. Jonathan asked her to hold his sword whilst

he explained about the three types of swords used in

fencing. He said fencers can use a foil, a sabre or an

epee. Of the three weapons, he explained, an epee

doesn’t bend, it is heavier, and it hurts the most. “You

can only hit your opponent with the tip of an epee,”

said Jonathan.

Later on, he demonstrated to the class on how to use a

sabre. “You can hit anywhere above the waist using a

sabre,” said Jonathan. “Duelling with a sabre requires

speed and an epee requires skill. A sabre match could

be over in a few seconds whilst an epee match could

last three minutes.”

Jonathan invited the kids to step forward and taught

them how to duel. The atmosphere inside the music

room became chaotic. The kids thrust, parried and

did shadow fencing amidst the guitars, bongos and

drums. He corrected a few postures and was surprised

by how quickly they learned to balance their weight.

The small team of photographers and video crew

covering the session, found it difficult to keep pace

with kids who were nimble on their feet and swift

in their movements.Towards the end of the session,

Jonathan took a few questions from the kids.

“I was 18 when I started fencing. In my freshman year

at Newcastle University, I wanted to learn a

sport where everyone is on the same skill level,” said

Jonathan about when he first held a sword.

One of the kids asked if it hurts when you are struck

by a sword. To which Jonathan said: “It only hurts if

you are not playing well, and if you are not on a high

skill level.”

Jonathan told the kids that, when he first started

fencing, he wasn’t scared about the swords but the

coach terrified him. He has been fencing for four

years now, and he continues to play the sport to stay

in shape.

What attracts him to the sport? “The thrill when you

score a hit,” said Jonathan. According to Jonathan, the

tradition of fencers wearing all whites began in the

old days, when the tip of a sword was painted in red

so that a hit would leave a mark on an opponent’s kit.

Hence, it was easier that way to keep the score in a

duel.

The kids recorded Jonathan’s answers and plan to

feature him in their weekly radio show. He also

recorded a jingle for the show. West Jesmond Primary

school has a juniors fencing club for first and second

graders. The kids plan to report about their school’s

fencing club as a side story to their main feature on

Jonathan’s session.

The kids enjoyed the fencing session and quiet a few

expressed their interest in taking up the sport in the

future. A few even joked that they looked like storm

troopers from the sci-fi movie Star Wars.

JONATHAN LAND

a bit more about

“There’s a certain thrill to getting a well executed hit”...

“getting a good riposte with an épée is very pleasing” ...

“it’s great fighting sabre and dodging an opponent’s blade before striking him on the head”

All these above alarming statements if it wasn’t for the context. I’m sat down with Jonathan Land the day after his training session with the children from West Jesmond Radio. Grabbing 20 minutes with him in an empty lecture theatre before he sets up for the Christian Union, he doesn’t immediately come across as a man interested in sword fighting. However, his soft-spoken nature belies an interest that only becomes clear when you see his eyes light up with excitement.

Jonathan has only been fencing since coming to University at Newcastle four years ago. Wandering round the introductory ‘Fresher’s Fair’ he was unimpressed by teams such as rugby and football which required previous training and expertise. In contrast, the chance to take up a new sport with specialist novice coaching seemed too good to miss.

Jonathan soon progressed through the épée training and within 2 years was regularly making the Men’s 2nds team. Encouraged by his success in a club sabre competition, where he finished third after minimal training, he transferred to that blade and hasn’t looked back, becoming a specialist for the club and representing them with the sabre in several matches this year.

The University lists fencing as a ‘performance sport’, meaning the teams face what Jonathan calls ‘significant pressure to succeed’. But the club, buoyed by a new intake last September of 1st year students who had already fenced at a national level, has risen to the occasion. Impressively, three teams, the Men’s 1st and 2nds and the Women’s 1sts, all finished this season undefeated.

Jonathan will be finishing his time at University this summer but aims to try and stay involved in the sport after graduation. He certainly has memories he will keep with him – ‘my highpoint was definitely the match against

York last year’, he says. ‘We won it by one point, which made it so tense’. As with all sport though there are low moments, with Jonathan in particular lamenting his team’s performance against local rivals Durham this year, suffering four defeats over four meetings in friendlies and league and cup competitions.

Jonathan remains positive though about the University team and the state of fencing in the UK as a whole, noting in particular that the coverage of the sport at last year’s London Olympics really seems to have got people interested. His time at West Jesmond Primary has also left him excited. Having initially been fearful of what the children would make of fencing, Jonathan was overwhelmed by their involvement. ‘They were just so enthusiastic!’, the twinkle of excitement appearing in his eyes again. ‘Everyone put their hand up to volunteer and it was so easy to talk to them’.

Jonathan leaves me to help with the set up for CU. Busy though he is, the time he gave the previous day certainly helped the children of West Jesmond Primary learn more about the sport he loves. He’s very happy that they’ll be reporting on it for their podcast. If any of them were to take their interest further then that would really bring him joy.
