'Most pupils make very good progress in oracy, reading, writing and numeracy skills. Many of the youngest pupils speak confidently to friends and listen well to instructions from adults. By the time they reach Year 6, nearly all pupils speak articulately and with confidence on a range of subjects.
A notable example of this is when pupils take part in live radio broadcasts or create podcasts in the school recording studio' - Estyn

DJ4aDay is a half termly (6 sessions) project, written and delivered by Director, Susie Webb (BMus Hons) and supported by Singergise Ltd and Singergise Radio, culminating on the final session, with a 2 hour show, written, produced and delivered by the students, to be broadcast live on Singergise Radio.
Each week, the students produce a 30 min 'show' during the session. This will allow the children to gain confidence learning about microphone technique, vocal delivery, presentation, improvisation and how to use the software/ hardware.
This time can be used to showcase work that the children have produced, including biographies, short stories, jokes, school merits, jingles & songs and news broadcasts about local events and the community, etc. These shows are recorded each week and can be used for the school/ groups Class Dojo/ Twitter/ website etc.
The final show will be produced, directed and delivered by the students incorporating an understanding of broadcasting software, music software, virtual DJ decks, budgets, timings, script writing, biography writing and the history of radio. Resources will be provided and can be adapted according to what theme/topic the class/group are currently working on.
