Having designed and written imaginative pages on technology, nature, sport, school news, and an interview with the head teacher, they also wrote about world news, fun facts and crafted games to play.

To support the text and make it even more interesting, the pupils also took photos and sourced relevant images, before deciding on how best to present them in the paper.
