So incredibly proud of all the young podcasters behind Episode 10 of KidCast School Tour: Roar to Restore 🎙️✨

This week we found out their episode has been shortlisted for a Sandford St. Martin Trust Award, recognising excellence in broadcasting about religion, ethics and spirituality across the UK and Ireland. Such an amazing achievement!

This brilliant group of just nine home-educated children from Cork (aged 7–11) were given the theme of Religious and Ethical Education, and they absolutely rose to it. From sharing their own thoughts and experiences to writing and performing an original audio drama, they struck a beautiful balance of creativity, honesty and imagination.

Gaelscoil na Lochanna was the very first Gaelscoil to feature on the ‘KidCast School Tour’ series and also the first school to take a fictional approach to their show.

This super creative 6th class incorporated a rap, a song and a scene from their show ‘Diarmuid agus Grainne’ and entertained us all with gorgeous Gaeilge along the way.

Éist le ‘An Ceann as Gaelige’ pé áit a bhfaigheann tú do phodchraoltaí!

☘️Seachtain na Gaeilge atá ann a chairde!

We love using our cúpla focail here at KidCast and this week we’re celebrating all the fun we’ve had as Gaeilge over the past 3 series!

💖Bhí mo chroí i mo bhéal hosting our first bilingual episode with Annabelle on Series 2 Episode 3: The Irish One! But of course I had nothing to worry about because not only is Annabelle’s Irish fantastic but she’s all round fabulous too!

📋There’s ‘Nuacht’ with Éabha, a ‘Cluiche Ceol’ with Reuban, ‘Fírící’ with Charlotte, a lovely chat with Michelle from Inis Meain, an incredible retelling of the story of St.Patrick by some students from Dramatic Action and we caught up with Muinteoir Ray!

🙏Big shout out to the KidCast Gaeilge support team
