The Day turns news into lessons - 'News Detectives' for KS2 can be used to fuel discussions, support literacy and build cultural capital in the classroom. Our team of teachers and journalists work together to find and report news that are appropriate for young learners.
We publish stories that are:
• Relevant to children’s lives and experiences
• Reflective of diverse voices and perspectives
• Interesting and understandable to children
• Never frightening or emotionally overwhelming
• Based on real-world learning to engage children in the curriculum
