Session 12 - March 19th - Making the International News

Session 12 was all about making the international news. This girls worked in groups to make a news broadcast which they then filmed in the green room.  Miss Tickle explained that in each group they would need an anchor, who would film all the links and several reporters and interviewees. 

The girls thoroughly enjoyed adding details to their studio scripts and practising accents to become William the Conquerer and Christopher Columbus. 

One girl in each group took on the part of Kate Sheppard, who fought for the right for women to vote in New Zealand and another became Dr Frank Jenner, whose team played an important role in stopping smallpox.

After rehearsing and trying on costumes the girls acted their scripts out in the green room.  It was brilliant fun and the girls really got into character.  To finish the girls enjoyed playing the part of a newspaper journalist and created their own news stories for the Daily Shine.

The girls are looking forward to seeing the finished news reports, thank you to Miss Tickle for organising such a fun morning.
