A day on the news paper

Our day on the newspaper

This is the Lozells news paper Page

The authors of this page from Year 6 at Lozells

We spent a very busy morning at the University of central England with Dr Mike Farmer and a man from the Birmingham Post. He showed us how the paper is put together and challenged us to write some 'news' of our own. This is what we wrote.

In Lozells School we have started a project called V.I.P's. V.I.P stands for Very Important Person because they work hard and are polite. We also have a green garden in our school. It has got a pond and a bird house. We make it attractive by putting a bench, a table and pretty flowers in it. we also grow food.

When we go out to visit places we have our own mini-bus. We got this by raising money through sponsored walks, spellings, selling conkers and selling badges.

Their is also a school choir. Mrs. Worsley teaches the choir every Friday morning. We go to other schools and perform there. We have a netball team run by Miss Robinson. We practice very Wednesday and after school we will soon have our first LIVE match.

I like going to lozellls school because there are lots of diffrent things happening

V.I.P's at Lozells

Reported by Shelley Mulcare

On Friday I was a V.I.P (Very Important Person) for the day. I became a V.I.P. by getting ten golden tickets which I earned by good manners, improved behaviour and good work.

You get a badge for the day when you are a V.I.P.

As a V.I.P tyou get important jobs to do around the school. You look after the phones, meet visitors to the school and do office work. At the end of the day you go to visit Mr. Day at the local secondary schoolto talk to him about being a V.I.P. As a V.I.P I showed another V.I.P person around the school, her name was Clare Short. She is our local member of parliment.
