HOLIDAY RADIO FOR CHILDREN
HE voice of Tutankhamen’s ceremonial trumpet, one of the big. moments in a widely-heard BBC programme about the tomb of the great Egyptian king, will sound again shortly when it opens and closes a children’s version of this programme included’ in the NZBS school holiday broadcasts. | Prepared by Broadcasts to Schools, these programmes will go on the air from YA and YZ stations at 9.4 a.m. from Monday to Friday in the fortnight starting May 23. One of.a BBC series, Digging Up the Past, "The Tomb of Tutankhamen"
tells the story of Howard Carter’s six years’ search for the tomb, and describes in the words of one of the excavators the treasures which were hidden away more than 3000 years before. The second of these programmes is about a treasure found in British soil — the treasure of Sutton Hoo. Let’s Sing Together, a programme for juniors to be heard once in each week, and a junior Things to Make, are among holiday programmes for which Freda Boyce, of School Broadcasts, is responsible. Miss Boyce (above) has also prepared reviews of a number of new books suitable for children. Quiz sessions each week for both senior and junior children have been arranged by Don Allen, of School Broadcasts; and a sports talk will be given by Winston McCarthy. Besides these programmes there will be plenty of stories, two programmes for seniors on soap carving, and a talk for Children’s Book Week, which is mentioned in an article on the opposite page.
