KidCast - RTÉ Kids RTÉ Kids

It’s the final episode of KidCast School Tour and following on from last week’s ‘Media One’, M. Dáibhíd’s 5th Class at Gaelscoil Átha Í take a closer look at areas of the media that affect tweens the most- social media and advertising. How are they linked and what exactly is ‘the power of the playground’?

It’s the last episode of the series so KidCast is exploring what they love best- the media! Podcaster Logan Kelly joins Céire to chat about fake news, social media, gaming and influencers, he heads Around The World to You Tubers Leo and Eli in New Zealand and interviews radio and TV broadcaster Claire Byrne!

This week KidCast School Tour is off to 6th class at Rathoe NS in Co. Carlow. Their teacher Ms. Kealy is the organiser of ‘Wellbeing Week’- a week per term for staff and students to celebrate themselves and their wellbeing, and these students have a wealth of information and tips to share with our listeners!

Ceire floats to studio on a hot air balloon with 12 year old Molly Rose, setting the tone for this week’s wellness episode. We learn how pets are good for our health, why Finland is happiest country in the world, Pádraig from The Paudcast stops by, as well as the Relax Kids and Jaime from You Tube’s Cosmic Kids!

Welcome to Paudie’s KidCast School Tour with 6th Class at Portlaoise Educate Together National School. This week Cormac and Amy help us explore polar animals and Piotr will be telling us how plastic is affecting them in a negative way. Get ready for a wild polar safari!

Things get a little bit wild on KidCast this week with 11 year old host Jake Burns! We hear about children raised in the wild, living ‘off grid’ and foraging wild food. Doireann and Jack tell us all about life in Tazania and wildlife cameraman and presenter Colin Stafford Johnson has a few wild tales to tell!
