We suggest this project is done by students between the age of 8 and 13. This is an individual project or for a small group of students in a classroom situation.
You will need access to a word processing package and, possibly, a scanner.
The instruction in PDF format and only intended for teachers can be found
here
The list of possible tracks is

The info for the adverts is

We are asking schools to set up a special part of their school website called Owlbut's World of Learning and all work done by pupils should be uploaded there.
Each project, if you decide to do more than one, should have a separate section. Send the link to
groupprojects@owlbut.co.uk.
We will start uploading links from schools in September 2025. The links will be accessed from this page.
We asked Richard to show you an example, after all he has been on radio quite a few times. We gave him the list and he didn't know a single song. He then spotted that
we have said this project is for people aged between 8-13 and said he should do it for the years when he was about 13. We checked and people did make records in those
days, so here it is; best No 1s from 1964/65. He has not written out his adverts as you will have to do because he didn't want to give you any ideas; old and mean.
A PDF version of this example which teachers can print out and give to each pupil is here
The plan for your show should look roughly like this, with the actual text of your adverts written in the event column:-
