“I enjoyed working in my group and I developed new skills in Media and editing.” – Adam
“I have had lots of FUN!” – Nathan

“We had the greatest time ever. We learned to work more independently since we had a small group and we all pulled fair weight.” – Ceren and Lara
“I have had lots of fun and I’ve learnt tips about journalism I’ve have also improved my team work. I have also given a lot to think about over the Christmas season. I’m looking forward till next time.” – Alex
“I have planned what I was going to do in the day, and I completed what I had to do successfully, and I enjoyed it as much, possibly more than last time. Next time I would make sure I didn’t leave things to the last part of the day, so I’m not rushing!” – David
