Nursery World - Media watch (265)

A class of eight six-year-olds joined teenagers across the country in celebrating their exam results last week. Pupils from Newton Prep, a private school in Battersea, south London, took GCSE information and communication technology after studying for only nine months. Armaan Genomal, six, told the The Daily Mail, 'It was quite easy, actually.' He added that he wanted to be an inventor so he could 'touch clouds'. The Daily Telegraph reported that a system used by the Teletoddler nursery chain, which allows parents to log in via the internet to watch their children playing at nursery, was 'being used by the Government to showcase the benefits of broadband'. The newspaper said that the TV link is on a new website which aims 'to show businesses how they can use broadband in an original way'.
