This term pupils in Year 5 & 6 have been taken part in 'News Real' projects organised by the Tyneside Cinema. Both projects have engaged the children in filmmaking in a creative and exciting way. Inspired by watching original newsreels, pupils in Year 5 & Year 6 worked alongside professional filmmakers to create their own piece of newsreel footage on life in the Victorian times (Year 5) and life during the Second World War (Year 6). These projects will culminate with a celebratory screening of the children's films in the Tyneside Cinema, where the news was first screened over 70 years ago as well as in school.

Dates to be confirmed.
