Primary 7 have been given the fantastic opportunity of accessing a children’s newspaper, First News. This will be used for various literacy activities in the coming terms and today they were introduced to the online platform, iHub. First News iHub allows the pupils access to global news stories, interactive comprehensions, vocabulary puzzles, polls and debates. The news gallery enables pupils to create their own news using the content that excites them the most.

Alongside the online platform is a weekly newspaper that will be sent to the school and pupils will have access to this. The newspaper will provide them with an accessible way to understand the world, enrich their knowledge and build confidence in sharing ideas and opinions, whilst supporting their personal reading development.

The pupils were very enthusiastic about First News and are looking forward to using it.   iHub can be accessed from home at https://ihub.firstnews.co.uk/ and each pupil has their own log in.
