As part of BBC Cambridgeshire’s ‘Voices’ project, wannabe media stars from St Augustine’s Infant School and Gordon Fendick’s Junior School in Wisbech North were given the chance to have a go at making their own mini radio features.

Nicki Ledgard, Stuart Ratcliffe, Jane Smith and Catherine Carr visited 9 different classes, teaching pupils from years 1, 2 and 6 all about sound effects, microphone technique, reporting skills and dishing out some professional interview tips.
