Well done!

Well done to the BBC School Reporters of 2015!

After another busy day of reporting the students have produced some outstanding reports.  We had lots of new students taking part this year and due to some busy timetabling, they haven't had much practice before the big day.  However, they worked incredibly hard and should be really proud of their reports.

A massive thank you as well to Yolanda from the BBC who has been in training the boys and offering them invaluable tips and advice.  Muchisimas gracias for all the hard work today.

Please watch and enjoy!

My experience of the BBC School News Report

I was surprised to see myself in this room today. Seeing that I had missed quite a lot of sessions, but nonetheless, I got on with my task and give 110%. The different skills I learnt today was editing, recording and also speaking. With the help of Ms. Lory, this was relatively easy. We were able to learn things and also practice if we'd wish to do this in the future. It was quite strange to see yourself in the video, makes you feel edgy and a bit weird. Doing these videos was a lot of hard work.
Although, when it came to editing it was really exquisite to see something decent, bad quality. Now everything you would want.

The challenge...

When i first heard of this report programme, i knew that this would be a breeze! but i was wrong: completely wrong...
when we started to edit, we had a major problem. The entire report got muddled up due to position of a clip. we were STRESSED, we had no idea what to do and time was ticking. in the end, we increased the amount of faith and we made it, improving the previous one.

My day- Recording the News

I was unsure in the morning if I would be allowed back into School Report after missing the last 3 sessions, but in the morning, message came to me saying we had a whole day of it. I straight away came to the Media Studio and we straight away started working on our stories. We covered environmental issues, political issues-which I did, sports and technology. We produced a script and recorded ourselves and even went on to interviews before break time. We took the videos and edited the files and finally exported them onto the website. I am writing this in my lunch break at the end of which we are going to broadcast and present the news properly like the way you see it on the television.

Ideas for stories:

This year the BBC are particularly keen to hear stories about; 

•   Young people and all things digital from young vloggers, coders and app designers to schools who are using interesting technology

•    Political engagement (or lack of) and campaigning amongst young people.

•    And any strong first person account like the one on alzheimers.
