We’re off! After a brief introduction and recap of our last News Day, our reporters are looking at today’s headlines and deciding on the stories they want to cover today. Once we’ve decided, we are going to have a brief editorial meeting and reveal our stories.
It’s Wednesday the 12th of December, and time for the second of our BBC News day practice reports. Our Year 8 team will be assembling shortly, ready for another frantic day of news reporting. Stay tuned to our special BBC School Report page for the latest blog posts…
