POTENTIAL young hacks from Northenden Primary School are learning all about the hectic world of newspaper journalism thanks to a challenging new course.
The 30 ten and 11-year-olds, who make up the year six class, are enjoying finding out how newspapers are written and put together.
Subjects tackled by the wannabe reporters at the Bazely Road school include headline writing, the best way to write an attention-grabbing introduction and the importance of quoting people correctly.
They are also studying bias and non-bias, and the importance of writing a fair and balanced story.
In addition to the writing side of the job, pupils are learning about all the different jobs within a newspaper - from reporter to editor, photographer to sub-editor.
Angela Barlow, deputy head at the school, said: "Journalism is on the curriculum for each year, so they go back to the subject every year and do some more. This class has been studying journalism this term for about two weeks, and are finding it very interesting."
Mrs Barlow added: "I think they find it so interesting because all children see newspapers, so they have experience of them and the class can relate to them"
The Reporter went along to talk to the class about real-life reporting and pass on some tips to the possible journalists of the future.
We also made up some special front pages of the paper for the class - with them as the cover story.
