ANIMAL AGENTS - READING SUPERSTARS!
Many congratulations to all
the children who took part in
the Library reading challenge

you kept up your reading so
actively over the holiday.

TOTALLY TOCKINGTON
In the spring term we will be re-launching Totally Tockington in printed format.
We would like to make this a larger, more colourful publication including examples of artwork as well
as the usual puzzles, stories and interesting information. We will therefore work on one edition each
half term, which we will put together, print out and sell to you, our readers.
The production team will need:
Journalists (to write the articles)
IT specialists (to put our articles into Publisher)
Artists (to decorate articles and submit artwork)
Puzzle writers
A sales team (to sell the copies working out the price at which we need to sell the newspaper
to cover our costs)
Advertisers (to publicise each edition)
Each edition will have a Guest Editor someone with an interest in the theme of the paper.
Hopefully the children will be able to find a role within one of these areas to interest them and we will
be able to put together a really interesting newspaper for you to read.
