I'm an NQT geography teacher and I'm trying to establish this school report with my Year 8 pupils. I'm finding it really exciting and can't wait to share the news with the kids. The BBC are being really helpful at giving me tips and people to contact. Hopefully the kids will love learning geography through a more technological stance...and learn some top journalism tips!
Good to hear that this is adding a bit of additional excitement into your school geography !
