Outcomes |

Children: |
- Bring local or national news items from newspapers or the internet (photographs in particular) to the attention of the whole class by displaying them on a 'class newsboard' and ask the children to do the same.
- Use images to develop an interactive display where children identify the location of a story on a local street plan or UK map. Ask the children to match headlines to stories or create headlines and perhaps write a possible news report. If an item relates to a local issue, children could be asked to complete reports on what they think about the issue.
