Fifteen Year 7 students took part in the exciting challenge of ‘Newsday’ on 11th March. This is a national schools competition run in association with the Guardian newspaper, encouraging students to take on the role of journalists for the day. The event involved reporting on the breaking news stories that day, as well as making sure that the finished newspaper made it to the publication deadline! The group of budding journalists had spent several weeks prior to the actual event preparing features on topics as varied as the environment and fashion. They conducted interviews and took photographs in order to create leading articles for ‘The Voice’ – their chosen name for their newspaper.
On the actual competition day, the participating students worked brilliantly under pressure to produce the newspaper, showing real organisational skills and writing talent.
Well done to all involved!
