BBC Radio Scotland Junior Historians
What a great day we are having, with Rhona Brudenell from BBC Scotland and Davie Gardner from Radio Shetland making a Junior Historian radio programme, about the Braer.
We are having lots of visitors in to talk to us and we have learned all about the Braer disaster. We have been learning how to ask good questions to find out the most interesting information.
The visitors today were Jonathan Wills, Helen Moncreiff, Jim Budge, Sheila Fowlie and Mary Blance.
Carla – It has been really good fun, we have learnt a lot.
Becca – It’s quite nerve racking peaking into a microphone.
Isaiah – I have really enjoyed listening to their stories, it’s been fun learning, like a treat!
Hari-Lou – It’s a bit odd, but exciting.
Robert B – I’m really looking forward to hearing it on the radio.
