Evaluating Our News Day:
Written by Ben and Stephen
Today we have become journalists by taking part in a BBC School Report. Ben (the BBC man) has come in and helped us find, gather, write, assemble and broadcast the news. Ben (the journalist) was our diary man and kept track of the whole day. He has been running up and down to the Student Services to give Skeggsy the latest information to put it on the school website. Everyone was in groups and they all had a news item each and put it in to the news that Kate and Ty presented brilliantly. They all interviewed someone and edited it in the media suite. When they had finished editing the interview for the broadcast they had to write the scripts for what they are going to say on the main broadcast. Finally, the main broadcast itself went really well because everybody worked really hard to get the broadcast on air.

It was a team effort and everyone worked really hard.

There were people who stayed after school to do a radio broadcast; they were Antony, Stephen and Ben.
