Last week Cacy brought us the really inspiring story of a 10 year old girl named Sarah from America.  Sarah was born with no hands but recently won the National Handwriting Award.  She has learned to grip the pencil in the crook of her arm.  Thank you Cacy.

Last week Luke brought us the story of the Clean Up Britain Campaign which runs from 22 March – 23 April 2019.  The campaign calls on Litter Heroes across the country to help improve the environment on their doorstep.  Already, over 500,000 people have been inspired to join forces this year – in partnership with community organisations, businesses and the government – to collect and safely dispose of litter from our streets, parks and beaches, recycling as much as possible.  Thanks for this report Luke.  Maybe it will inspire some of us to join in!

The news reporters this week are Luke and Alana.

Before the holidays, Lucas and Zainab both reported on Brexit.  Zainab told us that the vote to leave the E.U was originally in 2016.  Three years later, Britain have failed to exit on the proposed date of 29th March as a deal has yet to be agreed.  Lucas informed us that companies are panicking about what Brexit may mean.  The Irn Bru company have been stockpiling ingredients in anticipation of problems occurring.

Thank you Lucas and Zainab for this very interesting update.
