The last couple of weeks my son Yanick has started to learn his 2x table in his P3 class. I was thinking about what I could do to help him learn, so I thought why not have him make a podcast that his mates could listen to too.
So this afternoon he wrote down his 2x table off the top of his head, we then practised reading it through and recorded it. It sounded fine when we put a beat to it but I wondered if he couldn't say it using the beat to help. Of course he could. Here's the result.
It was amazing to hear his voice gain in confidence as we did it. And you should have seen the moves he wanted to put down when he listened back to it. I'm sure he will be pleased as punch when he gives the cd to his teacher tomorrow.
...and I can now see a whole series of podcasts coming up. Not just x tables but maybe letters, phonics and any old stuff.
Now whilst we were working on the mix Aïcha came into the room and started blethering into the mic. So I had to record her. She's 3 and did a jolly good job I think.
So there you are a family of podcasters...just need to get my wife in on the act now.
Great job kids! (We can barely remember your daddy's name here either!)I'll make a promise that you will listen to my podcasts in the new year.
