St. Patrick's National School Trim : April 2020

Wednesday, 29 April 2020

Rollercoaster.ie are looking for budding radio stars like Elizabeth from St. Patrick's N.S!

Rollercoaster.ie are looking for children from St. Patrick's N.S to record themselves (audio) speaking about the activities they are doing to keep themselves busy during the school closures.

Tips on arts and craft, coding, looking after the garden, maybe talk about your pets and animals...

These clips will then be edited by Steven Cooper (Max & Elizabeth's dad) with sound effects and music and will be featured on the show!

If anyone wants to do a report, email stevencooperdj@gmail.com with the subject 'Rollercoaster radio'.

You can listen to the show at anytime on https://rollercoaster.ie/rollercoaster-radio/ and also on Alexa, with brand new shows every Friday at 12pm!

They would also love to get birthday requests or jokes sent to them as an audio whatsapp to 0851610207.

Take a listen to Elizabeth talking about feeding her hens and collecting their eggs...(Click on 'Listen in browser' on phone/tablet)

We are all doing our best!
