This is for level 1. We have three Podcasts of the month. The first, for level 1, is Chalk and cheese (one of our pie vids), listen to how our two dogs are so very different. For level 2, we have another pie vid about Geocaching, a great hobby for those who like the countryside and are a bit techy too! For level three we talk about a British icon: Stonehenge. Listen and find out why it is so popular for the summer solstice. The sidebar has lots more podcasts for the month of June including The Fab Four.
