absolute favourite of mine, going back in time i think was in 193a there was a programme called music and movement which ran for 30 years, which was to help preschoolers with rhythm and movement. and funnily enough, we have made some films released recently which will do the same thing and a whole new way. it's lovely that all those years later we are still creating this new content with children, getting really imagine and then additive how to do it. . . ., ., ., imagine and then additive how to do it. the crucial role that so many different things, _ it. the crucial role that so many different things, but _ it. the crucial role that so many different things, but specifically bite—size, what do you think the significant was there? i bite-size, what do you think the significant was there?— significant was there? i think of her nose so _ significant was there? i think of her nose so lost _ significant was there? i think of her nose so lost in _ significant was there? i think of her nose so lost in the - significant was there? i think of| her nose so lost in the pandemic and really worried about the well being of our children's mental health and their well—being and their education. they produced over 200 hours of content really quickly, i think it's over 2000 lessons exist now for children to use. they turned

i think after a very short space of time, we realised that wordy was extremely popular with the children because of the feedback from the teachers and all the schools. but not only were they being entertained, but they were learning. the way that young people and children get their educational content from the bbc has definitely evolved with the times. as we race into the �*90s, technology transforms bbc education. bitesize, the online learning portal for young people, is launched. we've got a little page here. here we are. gcse bitesize revision... becoming even more relevant during the covid—19 pandemic as schools across the uk closed. this is the bbc light programme. from gathering around the wireless to live lessons streaming on smart boards. and it's time for us to go now. until tomorrow, bye—bye. ricky boleto, bbc news. i remember watching far too much of that. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes.

becoming even more relevant during the covid—19 pandemic as schools across the uk closed. this is the bbc light programme. from gathering around the wireless to live lessons streaming on smart boards. and it's time for us to go now. until tomorrow, bye—bye. ricky boleto, bbc news. it is time for me to go now, here's the weather. hello there. a bit of a disappointing day again for this stage in april — rather grey, cloudy, damp, certainly across england and wales, where it did feel really chilly once again. and that chilly feel will continue for the rest of the week, with the best of the sunshine towards western areas — always more cloud towards the north and east. you can see the arctic air pretty much lingering across the uk over the next few days, pretty much until we reach the weekend, in fact, where things may turn a bit milder in the south. but we've had thick cloud across england and wales, courtesy of these weather fronts, which have brought outbreaks of light and patchy rain. and that patchy rain will continue

investigation into his killing. stephen was 18 when he was stabbed to death in a racist attack in south london — 31 years ago today. last year the bbc named matthew white as the sixth suspect in the case. following that apology from sir mark rowley — the mayor of london was asked whether he had confidence in the metropolitan police to deal with this case moving forward. i think the firm has been let down over the last three decades by police officers over the course of the last three decades. david lewis casey, in a recent report found that the police service was still institutionally racist. i think there are lessons to be learnt. i had a frank conversation with sir mark rowley today. he'll be asking a separate police force to look into the assessment the police the police have made in relation to the fresh evidence.

the police, the met police have made in relation to the fresh evidence. i am hoping that reassures the lawrence family at door the lawrence family, doran in particular that under the new leadership in the police service, they will redouble their efforts to make sure that doreen and the family think that this police service has learned the lessons from yesterday. with more on this — daniel de simone reports. the racist murder of stephen lawrence took place 31 years ago today at a south london bus stop. two of the original five prime suspects were convicted almost 20 years after the murder. but the met�*s disastrous handling of the case means no—one else has been brought tojustice. last year, the bbc publicly identified a sixth suspect, matthew white, who died in 2021 and revealed multiple failures by the met to properly investigate him. now, stephen's mother, baroness doreen lawrence, gives her first interview about the new evidence
