Interviewing for the Ultranet page

On Friday, we decided that we needed to try another way to gather people's stories to put onto our Ultranet page, "Don't be Scared, Say it Out Loud!" We were really wanting to get some stories from some younger children, and we knew that writing probably wasn't going to be the best way to get them.

We decided to go and interview some of the Year 1 and 2 children. We thought of some good leading questions that we could ask to start a conversation off with, and then we knew that we had to listen carefully to the stories that came out, so we could ask some questions that followed on from what the children said.

Here is a recording of part of one of the stories.



To help us, we used Voice Memo or Photo Booth to record the stories so we could go back and listen to the stories later and type them up for the Ultranet page. We were really hoping that we would get some stories that weren't about Earthquakes, but we knew we had to go with what the children wanted to talk about. Over the next few days we will be typing up the rest of the stories and putting them on the Ultranet page, so don't forget to go and visit!
