Open Centre

BBC Radio Stoke's Open Centre has managed to weather the storm as students from Waterside Primary tried their hand at presenting the weather.

With the help of Video Reporter Tim Parker and legendary Weather Presenter Micheal Fish, students were taught how to step in front of the camera, place the infamous magnets onto the BBC weather map and predict conditions for the next 48 hours.

Take a look at the Weather Workshop video and gallery.

Choosing Roles

In groups of three students chose to be cameramen, directors or weather presenters.

Before they were let loose on the BBC weather map, students practiced their scripts and then transferred their presentation onto big white cue cards.

When everyone had rehearsed, the time had come to record and perform in front of the man with many years TV weather forecasting experience - Michael Fish.

He watched everyone and gave some good advice to the budding Sian Lloyds and John Kettleys - keep going, keep smiling and know how to end.
