We’ve made the BBC website again, as they follow our reporters working diligently to meet this afternoon’s deadline.

Luke talks to the BBC team, they’re interested to find out more about our day & stories we’re covering.

Our reporters are taking a much needed break, having spent the last our filming their pieces to camera and interviewing staff and students about a whole range of topics, including the threat of terrorism, The Sun’s decision to end Page 3 and the growing popularity of SnapChat.

We’re underway in the Media Studio for Practice News Day, with an editorial meeting. Our group is going through today’s major news stories. Stay tuned for more posts throughout the day…

It’s been a great BBC News School Report Day here at Marden, here are our finished reports, great first attempts from our Year 8 reporters.
