Y5 School Magazines (May 2016)

As part of their English topic on Reports, Y5 children produced, published and sold their own school magazines... and made a bit of cash in the process!

Here's how it works:

In English lessons, learn how to write interesting reports.
Learn how to get the formality right.
Learn how to write open questions which don't offend anyone . "You look old, Mr Blake - but how old are you REALLY?"
Learn how to quote people using direct and reported speech.
Team up, making sure that you have a range of people with different interests in your group.
Pick an EDITOR - the person with responsibility for driving the team.
Decide on articles which involve and interest your audience.
Interview people and get creative with each page.
Write the pages using Word and Publisher.
Proofread and PUBLISH!
