Year Six News Reporters

In Year Six we are now preparing to become news reporters. Today we were very busy, looking at the features of news reports and researching current news reports. Use the links to the right to visit the CBBC newsround website. What have we been reading about Year Six? What do we know so far about what makes a good news report?
