Media Club. . .
Rivers Newspaper
My name is Sarah and I am a Year 5 teacher. Before becoming a
teacher, I worked as a journalist in New Zealand for four years.
Through this job I learned valuable skills such as communicating
with others, expressing ideas and opinions, the art of photography
and the skill of receiving information and expressing it in a number
of different forms. These are all valuable skills for children to learn
too!
By joining the media club children will enjoy fun, exciting
activities while also learning practical journalism, research,
interviewing and writing skills… all this while working on a
final project - a Rivers Newspaper!
