00:16Hello and welcome to Kent Student 101 live here on KMTV. I'm your presenter Julia Duimo. This
00:23is a program for students made by students. We've got so much in store for you, from making a healthy
00:28affordable meal to start the day strong and trying new things to spotlighting Kent creators and the
00:33art that they are making. We've got it all here just for you. First up is Macro Meals where we
00:38show
00:38you ways of creating healthy meals without emptying your pocket. Now we all know that it can be a bit
00:43of a scramble to get up and out in the morning so Josh Colin Bell and Izzy Kenny are here
00:47to show
00:48you an affordable and delicious and quick recipe for you to start your day with. Let's see what they made.
00:56Hello and welcome back to Macro Meals. I'm Josh Colin Bell and I'm Izzy Kenny. So Josh,
01:01what are we going to be making today? Well today we are making breakfast potatoes. I'm usually really
01:05rushed in the mornings. Are you sure I'm going to have enough time to make this? Well lucky for you
01:09Izzy, this meal only takes 25 minutes to make so it's the perfect thing to start the day. Oh cool,
01:14let's get started. So first you want to add one chopped onion, one bell pepper and a couple of
01:19potatoes making sure they're cut small enough so they won't be undercooked. Pour your prepped
01:23vegetables into an air fryer lined with tinfoil or if you don't have one then you can use an oven
01:27preheated to around 200 degrees celsius. Before that though make sure you add your seasoning of
01:31two tablespoons of paprika and one tablespoon of salt and pepper. Finally add four cut pieces of
01:38bacon and combine with the whole mixture and cook for 25 minutes.
01:46Before the potatoes are done cooking fry off four eggs in a large pan and when they're done
01:50add the mixture on top. Sprinkle some cheese over and let melt and you're all done.
01:57And here's the finished product.
02:03Looks really good. These breakfast potatoes make two portions and for the macros per portion there are
02:09640 calories, 35 grams of protein, 51 grams of carbs and 33 grams of fat. And if you want to
02:17make
02:18this at home the ingredients are on screen now. I didn't believe you at first but this is definitely
02:22a better alternative to having the same cereal every morning. Yeah it is a much healthier way to start the
02:26day. It is super easy to make and it will stay within your student budget but that is the end
02:31of this
02:31week's macro males. See you next time. Next this week's We Try Out comes back on a roll. Student life
02:42is all about
02:43trying something new for the first time. So this week Keris Hammond and Layla Sparrow rolled into the
02:48rink to become the best roller skaters they can be. Let's see how they did. One, two, three, go.
02:54We try out, we try out. We try out roller skating. Welcome to We Try Out where every week we
03:04try out a
03:05new activity. My name is Layla Sparrow and my name is Keris Hammond and today we're here with
03:09Invicta Artistic Roller Skating Club to learn how to roll. But first let's find out a little bit more
03:14about roller skating. The first known use of roller skates was in a London stage performance in the
03:1918th century. The movement was much more rudimentary with skaters only being able to move in straight
03:24lines. It only became a more recreational activity a century later with roller rinks taking the world
03:30by storm. It has only continued to grow with competitions happening regularly around the county.
03:35We spoke to Rosie Rust to find out more about it. I would recommend this sport 100%. It's different
03:42from every other sport. A lot of discipline involved. It can be done as a hobby or as fun.
03:46It keeps young ones engaged and it's exciting. They've got grades to work towards. There's not
03:50just one thing. We've got probably one of the most friendliest clubs. Everyone really gets on well.
03:55We've got ages from the age of two all the way up into their 70s. There's a wide range of
04:00people
04:00that enjoy skating. So Keris, what kind of things do you need for this activity? You'll need some
04:04comfortable clothing and of course some roller skates. And don't forget a large flat open space.
04:09Invicta Artistic Rollerskating Club hosts beginner sessions all over the county in Faversham,
04:15Thanet and Canterbury for all ages and we're here to see if they can teach us too.
04:40So Keris, how are you feeling? I'm scared to fall over but I'm very excited.
04:44Me too. But let's roll. Let's do it!
05:08So how do you think we did? You did so well today, like amazingly.
05:11Aw, thank you so much. Do you think that we could compete? With a couple more sessions,
05:16obviously it was your first session today, which did so well on, but with a few more sessions you
05:20could absolutely compete. Thank you so much. Thank you. You're welcome.
05:23I had so much fun. What about you, Leila? I had such a great time. This was an incredible
05:27experience and I would definitely recommend my friends to come and try this as well.
05:30I agree. And that was this week's We Try Out.
05:39Next, a common worry that students both new and old face is the prospect of applying for work.
05:44Whether it be for a part-time job during term time or for your future career,
05:48many do not know where to start. Daniel Ward and James Connolly are here to help you begin the job
05:53search journey in the right direction by starting with your CV. Let's take a look at this week's How
05:58to Adult. Today's How to Adult will look at the basics of making a CV that employers will love,
06:08boosting your employability. Building a strong and appealing CV is an essential step to getting your
06:15foot into a new job. It's here where you can really present yourself and what you have to offer
06:19before they meet you in an interview. First up, make sure you have your name and contact details
06:25placed at the top of the page, like on this example, so your employer knows who you are and how
06:30to get
06:31in touch. Next, a profile. Here you can put a few short sentences or a description of yourself,
06:38a brief background, a special interest or where you think the job is for you. Now, your skill set is
06:46straightforward. List your best attributes that you can offer to the role. This could be anything
06:51from communication, time management, multitasking or anything you wish to share that could be helpful.
06:57Remember to put examples of what you have used these skills in the past. Work experience is important
07:03to note. As students, it may be difficult to demonstrate what experience you have as we often
07:09apply for first-time jobs. But don't worry, you can show examples of how you've developed in school clubs,
07:15societies or maybe volunteering or perhaps a shadowing in a workplace. Many employers are aware young
07:21people may not have much work experience and they will take this into account when hiring.
07:27Another foundational block for building your CV is educational background. Here you can mention what
07:33recent grades you have gotten. These qualifications can be at any level, just be sure to list the most
07:39recent first in your list. Make sure to keep your grades accurate and relevant to the position
07:43you're applying for. Finally, other interesting information that can help you set apart from
07:48other candidates are any languages you may know and mention how fluent you are. Even something small
07:54can make a big impact. What other non-academic achievements you have won that haven't already
07:59been mentioned? These can also be noted if they are relevant. But be careful, sometimes less is more.
08:06Remember, it's recommended by most employers to keep your CV to one page's length.
08:12But that's all we've got time for today. Be sure to look online for any additional resources
08:17and speak to any career advisors that you may have access to.
08:26And finally, as we know, students can be some of the most creative individuals out there but they may
08:31struggle to find ways of being able to share their work with an audience. While the Rochester Art Fair
08:36is a local opportunity for creatives and artists to do just that, the fair is making a return this year
08:41to the Rochester Corn Exchange. And to find out more, I spoke about the event with Taji Kaur Thami
08:47in this week's Created by Kent.
08:55Thanks so much for joining me today. So what's the Rochester Art Fair?
09:00The Rochester Art Fair is making its return this March 2026 after a two years break.
09:04The event was last held in 2024 and is now back to celebrate the local art and creative once again.
09:10Now students and local can visit the fair from the 7th March until the 8th March,
09:15so it will take place over the whole weekend.
09:16It is a public art fair where all the visitors can browse, enjoy and buy the original artwork,
09:22including paintings, prints and 2D and 3D works and others.
09:26You say this is for everyone, so how can students get involved?
09:29Of course students can be involved. The fair has submissions open to all artists,
09:34which includes student artists, meaning this could be a wonderful way
09:37for student artists to begin showcasing their works to the public.
09:41For example, artists, residents and former UCA student Charlotte Lloyd
09:45focuses her practice on painting, which she is well known for her subject matters and was
09:51previously featured with a last held Rochester Art Fair. So additionally,
09:55even for students who aren't artists themselves, can attend the fair to take the local talents.
09:59So what does this mean for Rochester residents?
10:05It's an art event that's taking place in historic Rochester Kent, England. There is so much to see
10:10and do in the historic city itself. There's a history of military, but also history of art. For example,
10:16the Medway College of Arts was established in the 1800s, so artistry has been tied in the town for
10:22centuries. Being a town with such a rich history, it makes sense that the community wants to uplift local
10:28artists. The art fair is an opportunity for all the people to showcase their creative arts
10:32and bring into an in-person experience.
10:35So how did the Rochester Art Fair look last year and how could it compare to this year's?
10:40As mentioned, the fair last took place in 2024, so I would imagine this year the organisers
10:49are really wanting to pull out the stops for the fair. Last time we saw all different types of creatives
10:55for glassblowers to sculptors, but I think part of the fun is that we don't know what art we'll see
11:00at the fair. It's a surprise and I'm sure students and locals will love walking around the Rochester
11:06Corn Exchange, which is where it will be held, and really taking some of Kent's local talents.
11:11Thank you for joining me today.
