Young Reporters Put on a Show at School
Students at Johnson Middle School in the USA, are reporting their school's news in their own news programme. The students take turns to make the programme. They set up a green screen, sit down and give their classmates the headlines(新闻提要) of the day. They include(包括) what's going on in the school and news about future events. They share the lunch menu of the day. "The kids come in excitement. They love being on the news and sharing the news with other kids. They are eager(渴望的) to know what's happening around them," said B.J. Burke, the school teacher.

On Nov. 8, students from Nanjing Foreign Language School had a special class. During the class, they had a hands-on experience of making folk clothes. The students took on the challenge(挑战) making their own bags through tie-dyeing(扎染). It is a dyeing skill to make blue calico(印花布). The dye and the cotton material(材料) used to make blue calico all come from nature. "Tie-dyeing is a magical art. Everyone does it a bit differently, and you never know exactly how it will look in the end," said Ma Qianyu, a Grade 8 student, happy with her work. The students will later go to Nanjing Museum to get more knowledge about life in Jiangsu and the folk customs there.
