The School Journal Club
The School Journal Club, run by professional journalist Lorenzo Perrelli, provides an opportunity for children to report on events taking place at school.
How it works
Pupils attending this after-school club work together to create a school newsletter which is sent out to all parents, providing them with an entertaining source of information about the children’s activities, from their own point of view. Each issue also includes fun quizzes and games created by the children, interviews and interesting columns such as “Book of the month”.
Children are invited to write in English or Italian based on their preference, while encouraged to challenge themselves to use both languages.
Our very own podcast
The club is a great way for young writers to develop their skills and share their perspectives on school life.
In addition to the school newsletter, our little journalists also work on a podcast which introduces each issue and gives a sneak preview of the topics they are hoping to cover in future issues.
You will find below all the school newsletters and podcasts.
We hope you enjoy it!
