Kids on a Journey

As lock down restrictions are eased and June welcomes certain classes back to school I have a chat with my 2 grand daughters. One is just starting her GCSE studies and is concerned about the time she is missing away from school, and the other is in her 2nd year of primary school and desperately missing her routine.

In this episode I chat to Iris my grand daughter about how she is dealing with things during the crisis. How is she keeping herself occupied and what is she missing?

After being prompted into the creation of a podcast by the team at the office, Anna started to think about just what her episodes would cover. She was also given the challenge of coming up with a podcast name that she felt would best reflect that. Here is the very first broadcast, as she discussed the above and decided upon the name.
