For a reminder of  just how good they were, see the video of the performers from Knightswood School who took to the stage in the Clyde Auditorium last week.

Introduced as an example of what the Curriculum for Excellence can achieve in practice, they performed before the first keynote speech by Fiona Hyslop, MSP (also available on the video page of the SLF website).

Young Radiowaves reporters will, again, be out and about during SLF, interviewing  speakers and presenters.

Pupils from 2 schools in Fife will record, edit and publish their interviews live from the SECC.  The schools were chosen from the winners of the End of Term Awards 2009.

Examples of previous work

Pupils were asked to create an audio documentary about environmental issues. They scripted, recorded and edited these pieces with music and sound effects.

• The Future is Unwritten: Rimbleton Primary School
• Don’t Break My Heart!: Kirkcaldy High School

We look forward to hearing the results this year.
