news within reach of children

Children talk about their lives with their disabilities, a comet in the sky and an enigmatic owl: this is the program of “Salut l’info!” this week.

Every week, the “Hi news!” podcast. tells the news to 7-11 year olds, a production of Franceinfo radio and Astrapi magazine. The children speak throughout the program, to comment on current events, ask questions, ask for advice or even tell jokes.

To co-present this week’s episode, “Hi News!” hands the microphone to two listeners, two brothers. You will hear Maoli, 7 years old and Manoa, 9 years old.

To launch you into the adventure of media education in cycles 2 and 3, we provide you, every week, with a new episode of “Quart d’heure Actu”. This sequence of three brief audio extracts from the podcast “Salut l’info!” allows you to establish a short and fun weekly information ritual in class. And to encourage active listening among students, the session is accompanied by a quiz to download.

The theme: introduce your students behind the scenes of the media! More information and registrations on the Bayard education website.

On the occasion of World Disability Day, October 9, two listeners wanted to share their daily lives, the opportunity to talk about their disability, their hobbies, school… And also to send a message to children who listen to us. Maoli, 7 years old, has a mouth deformity and he says he has already been the victim of teasing. “Be very careful of the disabled around you”declares Lucie, 10 years old, deaf from birth. It is not necessary “not make fun” of them, completes Manoa.

The news is also about migrants trying to cross the Channel to reach the United Kingdom at the risk of their lives. “Why are they doing that?” asks Manoa into the microphone. The presenter Estelle explains everything to the children. Also on the program: the mystery of the Golden Owl finally solved and a comet crossing our sky.

In our “We tell each other everything” section, Amazirh contacted us about a dilemma: what to do when you are nice to people who are not kind in return? A vast subject that the show addresses with the help of our psychologist Nadège.

By listening to this week’s “Joke Box”, children will be able to laugh and think at the same time thanks to three riddles. It is also always possible for children to leave a joke on the show’s answering machine at 01 47 79 40 00.

The “Club Salut l’info” is seeing double this week, by welcoming Manoa and Maoli, two brothers from Orléans. On the microphone, they share with us their passion for sport and football. Happy listening!
