Oldbury Wells School have created an exciting new project/competition which many of the local primaries are getting involved with. The challenge is to be a news reporter and report about something you have been learning this term.

Here is the introductory video to get you started. It explains very clearly what the project is all about.

Here is the first episode of “Oldbury Wells News” which sets the scene and gives an example of a student report. One of their year 9 helpers on the clip wasn’t given much time to learn his lines/plan the report, so when you watch it, you can gain ideas for what improvements to make for your own report. He was still brave in going on camera!

You might like to watch BBC Newsround to give you some more ideas on how to present a report.

In Blue class, you could report on something from your topic on the Mediterranean or your science topic on ‘Changing Materials’.

If you are in Red class, you could report on the science topic -sound or you could go back in time and interview Noah taken from our RE topic. You could do it on earthquakes, mountains, volcanoes or even the Portia spider!

Topics in Yellow class have been learning about volcanoes, mountains and earthquakes so you could do a report on one of those.

Here is some more helpful information for children including guidance on how to plan your report and there are more links to help you create a good report.
