CHILDREN are producing a radio station on the internet.
Pupils at Tilery Primary School, Stockton, have learned to make audio recordings for the Radio Tilery website.
They have been honing their skills at an after-school computer club, part of a project funded by the Big Lottery.
School officials say assessing and editing their speech is improving the children's speech and literacy skills.
Their website has received more than 260 hits and inspired a group of children in the South-East to produce podcasts.
The Tilery pupils have received coaching from their teachers and also have been helped by Stockton Borough Council's information technology department.
Councillor Alex Cunningham, the council's cabinet member for children and young people, said: "The children involved in this project should be very proud of what they have achieved.
"They have shown great motivation and dedication in producing their own radio-style programme as well as some real imaginative flair."
