Summary
Every morning Karen Thomson's Year 6 class at Cockington Primary in Torquay start the day in a different way to the rest of the school, they look at the news. This programme looks at how using news in this way can help engage pupils with a range of citizenship themes. Each morning Karen projects news websites onto the class whiteboard. Her class then take time to study the bulletins, discussing issues that they see as important and thinking about the world around them. This is a more personalised approach to learning which seems to help motivate and inspire the children, they even go home and talk about the news with their parents!Behind this approach is Karen's strong belief in the importance of making abstract notions in the curriculum real as well as encouraging children to take responsibility for their own learning.
