As part of an Enterprise Media Day at Chichester High School for Boys, Observer editor Colin Channon asked students to write news articles based on their experience of the fast-paced day.

Emma Nichols, head of media studies, said: "The theme of the day was exploring news. The students were briefed on being a journalist and constructing good news by industry experts and then were set the task of creating real news reports themselves.

"The aim of the day was to get the students not only to explore news but to develop media, ICT and literacy skills. In addition to this the boys learnt to work as a team and meet strict time deadlines."

Each form group produced a range of multimedia news items including TV news shows, podcasts, set designs and newspapers.
Colin said he was impressed by the students' enthusiasm.

"The pupils were interested in all forms of the media, not just newspapers, which is important as reporters have to be able to film a video report as well as write news articles.

"There could definitely be some budding editors among the students."

This is one of the winning videos produced by pupils at Chichester High School for Boys.
