The News as it happens on the day...
Yes! It’s that time of year again. The BBC are letting our school students present the news for a day. On Thursday, 26 March, between 8:30 and 16:30 the BBC are opening up their news feeds to thousands of school children so that they can present the news on that day.
Here at Gateshead City Learning Centre we will be helping teams of intrepid reporters from three schools to present their news stories and some of them may go out live on the BBC radio, television or internet networks. At any rate you will be able to see some of their work on this website.

BBC School Report Day 2009 - Welcome
Yes! It's that time of year again. The BBC are letting our school students present the news for a day. On Thursday, 26 March, between 8:30 and 16:30 the BBC are opening up their news feeds to thousands of school children so that they can present the news on that day.
Here at Gateshead City Learning Centre we will be helping teams of intrepid reporters from three schools to present their news stories and some of them may go out live on the BBC radio, television or internet networks. At any rate you will be able to see some of their work on this website.
Internet Safety has been an important whole-school issue at Lord Lawson of Beamish School and the reporters there have made a presentation of some of the good work going on there with staff, pupils and parents. There are interviews with key people who helped to get the initiative off the ground as well as opinion from parents and pupils who have taken part in the wealth of activities arranged with the help of ICT Gateshead based at Gateshead CLC.
Taking the theme of public art and sculpture the team from Dryden School have worked hard to produce a presentation on one of the most recognised landmark, public sculptures in the country - you've guessed it - The Angel of the North. These students have worked really hard with their teachers and helpers to produce work which they should be proud of.
On Thursday the reporters will have the opportunity to research breaking news and conduct interviews with influential people in the region putting it together to make the news bulletins.
Well we are all looking forward to it and hope you will be able to follow the day on our blog.
