Hot Off The Press!
The Year 6 children had a treat this week linked to their English topic of Newspapers. Rachael Healy, a freelance journalist, spoke to the children about writing articles and her journalistic experience. Rachael has written many articles and writes for ‘The Guardian’ newspaper in the UK. She has worked in the industry for around 10 years and is also an old school friend of Miss Wassell’s.
The children studied an article on the pandemic and asked her relevant questions about her work. She gave the children top tips for their upcoming Newspaper Day. The children relished the chance to speak to a ‘real life’ journalist and have certainly been inspired.
