Year 5 and Year 6 children were selected to visit The Guardian Education Centre, Kings Cross, to take part in a workshop called ‘Make a Newspaper Front Page’. This was a very exciting learning experience for the children as they became reporters and editors, whilst encountering the real-life experience of producing a newspaper front page. As part of the workshop, they chose, researched and wrote two stories from the day’s news, using the newspaper's own computer software. They then sub-edited their work, wrote catchy headlines, chose photographs and produced their very own newspaper front page. It was a challenging experience for the children as they had to adhere to a tight deadline, whilst they learnt how the news is actually made on a daily basis, 24 hours a day. Overall, the trip was thoroughly enjoyed by the children, staff and parent volunteers.
