On Thursday 7th February 2008 we took 28 pupils from a Year 7 science class to Gateshead CLC. Alongside Whickham and Dryden schools the pupils ran the CLC like a real life news centre - they collected up to date news stories from the Internet and prepared their own reports using laptops and industry standard television and radio recording equipment. This is in preparation for the real BBC School Report day on Thursday 13th March 2008.
It was a fantastic day - check out the School Report Weblog site to see some of the practice material produced by all three schools. School Report Website
