Take a look at the fantastic news reports coming in from schools across the country.
We are delighted to be working with Parliament Education and Litfilmfest to bring you The Week Junior news.
Created by Parliament Education and LitFilmFest, Pupil Parliament is an exciting free resource for schools that brings together literacy and digital skills to teach primary school children about the role of MPs and members of the House of Lords.
Pupils are invited to choose an issue that is important to them to and to explore how they might create change. They research, write and record short films exploring the issue and invite their local MP to respond to it.
Schools are then invited to enter them into the Politics category of the children’s film festival, LitFilmFest and each month the school with the best film is then given the opportunity to work with members of the LitFilmFest team to make their film even better. The result of this work is a professionally-produced The Week Junior News report.
You can see the latest winning reports here each month — so keep checking back for more incredible projects.
