BBC NEWS SCHOOL REPORT IS COMING
Leyton Orient Community Sports Programme Education Centre makes the news with the BBC
This Thursday 26th March pupils from Leytonstone School and Connaught School for Girls will be joining up with around 500 schools across the UK making the news.
The pupils have been taking part in Playing for Success, a Leyton Orient Community Sports Programme (LOCSP) initiative in partnership with the DCSF, local authority, Football Foundation and Leyton Orient FC this term. The programme is aimed at raising achievement in literacy, numeracy and ICT skills, as well as improving self-esteem, confidence, motivation and independent learning. This term they have been participating in BBC News School Report, a BBC project to engage 11-14-year-olds in the news.
Ex-teacher and BBC News presenter, Huw Edwards, is lending his support to the project.
He says: “I'm involved because I want to give young people the chance to make the news themselves, and I want to share the principles of good journalism.”
Over the past few months the students in Year 8 have been working hard, training to be top journalists, carrying out interviews and producing reports.
Andree Selner, LOCSP Senior Education Development Officer said:
“The project works slightly differently with us as we only have access to the pupils once a week for two hours. This has given the pupils more time for planning and research.
We gave them a focus of basing their reports on an Olympic Value and had different groups focusing on different kinds of news stories. We even took part in a practice day and interviewed BBC London Sports Journalist Tom Watt!
Everybody is excited to see it all come together for the final report on March 26th.”
On Thursday at 2pm the students will be broadcasting their news, covering recent stories inspired by one of the seven Olympic values.
