The Podkids have been learning about 'celebrations from around the world'. In this podcast episode (recorded live at a school assembly), the students talk about Australia Day, Guy Fawkes Day, Halloween, April Fools Day, the Melbourne Cup, Valentines Day and Easter. They even perform some live music. Enjoy!

In the special video podcast, the Podkids present the seven finalists from the Orange Grove animated film festival. These were premiered at a special red carpet event on 22 August 2008.

At the start of 2008, Orange Grove Primary School commenced a one-to-one laptop program for all students in Years 4 - 7. This podcast contains videos that the students produced reflecting on how their school lives have changed since receiving their very own laptop computers. The videos were shown to the school community at the official launch of the laptop program in March of this year. Enjoy!

(For educators who are interested in how the laptop program operates, Mr Fuller has posted details on his blog. You can also listen to Mr Fuller speak about the program on a Digital Chalkie webcast)

The Podkids have been learning all about carbon dioxide, the greenhouse effect and climate change. This episode is a recording of an assembly item that we presented to our school community in June 2008.
