Economic and Industrial Understanding

Year 5 and 6 have been experiencing the world of work during

 Newsroom Week.

 

They have created an online newspaper in one day.

 

They looked at paper newspapers and online newspapers to learn about the structure and organisation of the writing.

 

They had jobs within the newsroom and worked in teams to create the paper.  Each section has its own web page and links to other sections in the newspaper or to files that can be opened – such as a Hot Potato Quiz.

 

They collected information, took photographs, wrote the text, edited their work and published it – in the same way that a real newsroom would.
