Podcast Project
I based three weeks of literacy around the book, A New House for Mouse. I thought this podcast project would be a good opportunity for me to use ICT equipment to develop the area of speaking and listening as well as linking into several other areas.
Creating the podcasts covered the foundation stage objectives of:
- Finds out about & identifies the uses of everyday technology & uses information & communication technology & programmable toys to support learning. (K&U)
- talks activities through, reflecting on actions (CLL)
- interacts with others in a variety contexts negotiating plans, taking turns in conversations (CLL)
- speaks clearly with confidence & control showing awareness of listener (CLL)
- Use talk to organise, sequence, & clarify thinking, ideas, feelings, & events, exploring meaning/sounds of new words (CLL)
- Initiates communication with others, w/ greater confidence in more informal contexts (CLL)
- Listens & responds (CLL)
- shows an understanding of elements of stories, main character, sequence of events & openings (CLL)
- retells narrative in correct sequence, drawing on language patterns of stories (CLL)
- Works as part of a group/class taking turns/sharing fairly (PSE)
- show interest in activities through observation/participation (PSE)
- Confident to try new activities, initiate ideas, speak in familiar group
- explores different media & responds to a variety of sensory experiences. Engages in representational play. (CD)

Our podcasts show the children :
- Interviewing each other
- Retelling & acting out the story with props we made
- Our class assembly on this story
- A news broadcast designed mainly by the children in role of the mouse
Some additional activities we did to link with this book:
- Turned the home corned into the Mouse’s hole
- Made group collages based on the style of art as seen in the book
- Wrote our own speech bubbles and captions for the characters/illustrations in the story
- Story maps
- Hot seating, pretending to interview in role of different characters from story
- Looked at books and websites to learn about animal homes
- Compared size of objects to link with the story how the mouse’s apple couldn’t fit into her little mouse hole.
