Virtual newsroom
creating mini reporters online
Parents are choosing Media Cubs as one of their learning allies so their children can become confident communicators who can create, navigate and debate the news at home!
We have brought our pop-up TV studio and newsroom – led by journalist and mum Kirsty Day – online to host weekly ‘pay as you feel’ interactive media challenges including photography and filming, comic strip-making, TV presenting and newspaper reporting.












About Us
Jam-packed with media, digital and creative challenges, Media Cubs inspires kids to share their views and make the news.

This was the 'for' argument from one of our debate teams in the studio this week on the topic: 'Should children being able to vote.'
And the other debate team that gave arguments against children being able to vote countered that: "children can be gullible, grown-ups can easily change children's minds so if they voted it would not be a fair view on what they believe, and politics is boring."
All I can say is it was great to be a part of this debate with the help of our Media Cubs character - Mayor of Cubchester Andy Bearnham, as it showed the mini reporters that when writing an article or broadcasting you have to give fair and balanced views from both sides.
Thank you to all the mini reporters that battled it out, you did an awesome job!
And a big shout out to Ella who on her first visit to the newsroom became 'Mini Reporter of the Week' - voted by our mini-boss Reet, who said she did a great job of stepping up to the mic with "fantastic contributions to the debate".

I loved being a cartoonist and trying new things. I got to tell the newsroom my views on Donald Trump and I was filmed on camera!

My children have loved this. They’ve enjoyed the art side but now are taking an interest in news – Izzy is driving us mad about Brexit!

This after school club is unlike anything else that we as a school are able to offer to our pupils, it has unlocked unknown potential in our pupils and has provided a platform for them to shine.
