Join us as we celebrate 50 years of Newsround in this cross-curricular Live Lesson for 7-11 year-olds.
We’ll be travelling through time reflecting on news reports from the past, exploring stories of the present and imagining headlines of the future.
Presenters Mr Smith and Newsround’s very own De-Graft Mensah will be looking at how Newsround covers key events to illustrate how to turn a story into a news item.
With links to history, citizenship and literacy topics, this interactive live programme will investigate what goes into making a CBBC Newsround report. Pupils will learn what goes into researching and writing factual stories and news bulletins, whilst becoming familiar with journalistic practices such as impartiality.
We’ll also be asking pupils to switch on their imaginations by imagining what the news might look like in 50 years’ time. From the weird to the wonderful, we hope this inspires them to write and present their own news report for friends, family or even their class.
