Calling all budding newshounds!

Sleeping under canvas was part of the experience for Junior Gazette writers at Kirkham Grammar School who enjoyed a bushcraft expedition in Cheshire.

It’s completely free to join and is open to young people aged seven to 18 who love to write.

Junior Gazette is a bright, two page spread which is published in The Gazette every Wednesday and features articles from budding reporters across the Fylde coast.

It’s a great opportunity for younger children to practice writing skills, particularly when they’re learning about newspaper style writing in school.

And for older students, it’s a brilliant platform to have their articles published.

Junior Gazette reporters can write about anything they like - their hobbies, days out, cinema and book reviews, exciting events at school and reports about school clubs and sporting achievements.
