Today thirty-four Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils went on a visit to the Sky Academy in Livingston. They had the opportunity to produce a news report.
The report was based on Recycling – which has been a focus of our learning in class.
The children were split into groups and each assigned roles such as editor, reporter, producer, screen writer. They then worked together in their groups on a section of the report.
Group 1 – introduction,anchor
Group 2 – roving reporters
Group 3 – eye witness
Group 4 – interviews
After they had worked together in their groups to produce their own part of the report, all parts were then combined to produce the final piece..
The kids had a fantastic day and a wonderful opportunity to experience how a news report is made. Some of the comments were …
Miller – “It was a good experience!”
Aidan – “It was fun finding out about how the cameras work!”
Hayley – “It was awesome the equipment we got to use!”
Lewis – “Loves the technology!”
