Recap the brainstorms. Look at the different names the children have thought for their newspapers, look at the stories they have chosen to write about.
Ask what they might need to do next. Encourage the children to suggest that they should go out and perform their investigative journalism.
Split the children into groups and give them their badges, send the first group out to go on their investigation.
Main Lesson
Your investigating teams will go out with your teaching assistant to begin gathering their stories, taking photos and forming their main ideas.
The remaining children in the classroom will be taking part in child independent activities.
