Cedars' newshounds make the headlines
Junior reporters at the Linslade school go online with the news.
HOLD the front page! Cedars students have been branching out into journalism with their own section on a BBC website.
Cedars was taking part in the BBC School Report, an annual project involving hundreds of schools, that allows them space on the BBC News website.
Students from Year 9 filed reports on school, local, national, and international news.
"This has been very exciting for all the pupils and staff involved, said Colette Goring-Farrow, the head of Year 9.
"They have all learned so much more about what is going on around them right now. They have worked really hard and I am very proud of them".
Cedars was the only school in the town to take part in the initiative.
The press gang was involved in a record breaking attempt to take part in the biggest interactive weather report.The temperature – a nippy five degrees - was witnessed by Alex Fry of Harper's Gym.
Pupils worked mainly in pairs, using new-found journalistic skills to report on a variety of topics including sport, potholes, Mother's Day, Sports Relief, cyber-bullying, and much more.
