Season 2 Episode 6. aka record some random chat and upload.
Chatting with Elise about a few things.
Chatting with Elise about a few things.
Some idle chatter about recent events. Elise is a member of the student council now.
It’s just a chat. There is no fore planning or order. It’s just a record of some voices in time.
Trying to get back into recording more regularly.
We talk about different things with no coherent plan but talk a little about names and Ancient Greece.
Extensively.
Seems like the episodes aren’t on Apple Podcast, not sure why. Uploading this to see what happens!
And screams at the end.
Elise and Yumo go through some Little Talk conversation cards with their grandparents.
Also, Elise ends the episode with a song.
🐘
Dad says he’ll buy the kids a toy if they don’t have any screen time this weekend.
We have a go at using the cards more.
I bought some cards to start conversations with the kids and this is us going through some before our dumplings arrived.
And we record on Zoom.
Daddy doesn’t say much.
Elise talks about responsibility. Audio is a work in progress.
First, quick, try with our microphone to talk a little. See how it goes…
Rain or sunshine?
Elise and I discuss it briefly!
Yumo jumps in too!
Volleyball!
We say some things.
Elise freestyles but the microphone didn’t work so well.
Reading with Yumo
Yumo tends to speak to me mostly in Chinese, even if he mostly understands what I say in English. Sometimes though he’ll use Chinese and English in a sentence.
E.g. when reading he said - me jia you, which means ‘me house has that’ so starts English and switches to Chinese
Big takeaway was Elise was braver than we thought she’d be. Yumo had to deal with not being big enough for some of the rides.
Daddy cuddle!
We do some more reading.
Elise likes these books, Daisy has an active imagination!
Yumo and I read a story together
Also, hot dog.
Elise talks about the banana laden book.
She talks about Zog by Julia Donaldson
We talk about Willy the Champ by Anthony Browne.
Yumo talks about some of the things he sees in a book. His Chinese is currently stronger than his English.
Yumo has a brief chat
Yumo plays a clip from the nutcracker over and over.
About unicorns obviously.
Plus Yumo says some stuff.
And they have a horn
See title.
Elise’s choice: Paw Patrol.
Hi again. A quick chat before Elise went to sleep. Hopefully this is the start of more regular episodes. We’ll see…
Hi again!
Elise talks about our evening out.
We try to talk about Father’s Day a little.
We’ve just read Aaron Becker’s third book in the Journey trilogy that’s called Return. Though, at school the kids have been calling it Journey Number 3.
It has really grabbed Elise’s attention. In fact, it has grabbed mine too. I keep seeing new things every time I read it and more than once have got into conversations about it with colleagues at school.
A brief chat about scooters
Picking blueberries and waiting up for mum and dad.
Yumo says some names of people in our immediate family but not others!
Elise reluctantly talks a little about school.
TLDR: See the title.
Elise presses buttons, Yumo wants to join in, I put it online regardless.
Elise talks about her new toy
Elise talks a little about dinosaurs.
Following straight on from the last episode. Lyra learns what scruffy means.
Elise gives her brother a new name.
We’ve read this a lot this weekend. She did pretty well!
Bit noisy this.
A trial run of talking with Yumo… Who is on the verge of talking. He understands what we’re saying and knows what he wants to say, it just doesn’t come out right, yet.
The audio of a video I took of Elise talking to a friend about a book we’ve read called Journey by Aaron Becker. Which I highly recommend.
Still need to read up on how to use Wavelength more effectively though.
Elise and Lyra talk about Paw Patrol.
We talk about the time Elise fell off a swing.
We, briefly, talk about salad and vegetables. Which is apparently our families favourite food! Who knew?!
A discussion of Room on the Broom by Julian Donaldson, both the book and film.
First time recording outside and not at bedtime. We went to a ‘theme park’!
Elise deviates from dinosaurs and talks about airplanes and cars and her grandparents.
Elise shares her thoughts on Despicable Me.
Elise talks about Paw Patrol and sings the theme in English and Chinese.
Elise presses the button to start recording. Elise talks a little about school and why she hasn’t been going. Yumo says hi too!
After reading about @Chet’s podcast with his children, I kind of liked that idea. Then I listened to introduction to microcasting by @macgenie, briefly searched for microphones online, realised that for this month there’s free microcasting and decided I would chat to Elise today.
Which is what we did. We talked a little, unplanned at the moment and this is the result… We’ll see what happens next!
