Hello

At the beginning of February you may have seen the news coverage (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12395183) about the planned changes to the BBC's radio services: 6 Music was saved, BBC 7 is due be rebranded as BBC Radio 4 Extra. There was also news about the future of Children’s programmes, including CBeebies Radio.

CBeebies Radio will become an on-line audio service on the 2nd April and will no longer be broadcast on BBC Radio 7. However you will still be able to find CBeebies Radio programmes on-demand from our radio player: https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/radioplayer/

or download the podcasts to entertain your little ones while you're on the move: https://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/cbeebies

We have received lots of positive feedback telling us how much children have enjoyed listening to CBeebies Radio programmes and by offering CBeebies Radio on-line we hope that many more children will be able to enjoy what we have to offer.

It would be really good to hear your thoughts on how you might use CBeebies Radio with your families. What would you really value most from CBeebies Radio?

We want to hear how families might listen to CBeebies Radio with their children depending on family activities or routines. For example: on car journeys, at quiet time, story time, play time and of course bed time. We hope that by offering these themed pieces of content it will provide families with opportunities to stop, listen & enjoy CBeebies Radio have fun and be inspired.

Hello!

Thanks for all your comments on the blog, it's so great to know you've been enjoying the series.

We've have lots of requests for the lyrics to the theme tune so here they are. Enjoy!

Little Human Planet opening titles song:

In our big round planet

Out in the big starry space

Let’s meet our friends around the world

And go from place to place

Our lives may be so different

Different country, different name

Different language, different weather

But inside we’re just the same

Let’s meet our friends around the world

Hello – and how are you?

We are the children of the world

We are its future too........

We are...

Let’s meet our friends around the world

We are....

Little Human Planet

Little Human Planet closing titles song:

In our Little Human Planet

On our journey we met you

We’ve seen some friends around the world

And learnt about you too

Our lives may be so different

Different country, different name

Different language, different weather

But inside we're just the same

We've met some friends around the world

How lovely to meet you

We are the children of the world

We are its future too

We are – we are the children of our world

Hi there. It's Katy here!

Welcome to my first ever CBeebies blog. I've been having a fantastic time with Alex, Cerrie and the gang at the CBeebies house lately. I was in the studio with Andy the other day trying to persuade him to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with me next year. I'm well up for the challenge but I think Andy might take some persuading! I'm a really active person so when I'm not bouncing around in the CBeebies house I can be found doing all sorts of outdoor pursuits.

I’m a keen cyclist and I also love doing Brazillian dancing. It's an intensive workout and its loads of fun. It helps me to stay energised so I can jump around a lot on CBeebies.

I love entertaining children, which is why working for CBeebies is so great. I run two children's choirs a week - one in Hampshire and one in Bristol. This just about leaves enough time in the week for my main passion, cooking. I've been experimenting with some new recipes and having a whale of a time. I'll be bringing some new tasty treats to you and your little ones very soon so watch this space!

What’s your favourite thing to cook with your child? I’d love to know your tips on what your children love to eat. Why not sign in and post a comment or two?

Bye for now

Katy
