Year 8 Make the headlines
As part of an Active Learning Day students were tasked with producing a newspaper where they would research and write content of their choice.
Year 8 students took the opportunity to advance their extended writing whilst using skills developed from Art, Geography, History and Maths.
Students combined fact with creative writing and produced articles covering a broad range of topics including; Brexit, Knife Crime Awareness, Tackling Gang Cultures, North Korea, Fortnite and The Flat Earth Society.
