Go to Kynren – An Epic Tale of England!

We are looking for a junior journalist in the County Durham area to go to Kynren – An Epic Tale of England, the UK’s biggest live action outdoor theatre show. There is a preview night taking place on Saturday 5th July and we are looking for a junior journalist and their parent/guardian to attend. They would then have their follow up review in First News.

We need a junior journalist who can:

• Write a 150 word review for First News
• Attend the preview night for Kynren – An Epic Tale of England on Saturday 5th July

Write a book review and have it featured in First News!

Do you have thoughts on a book you have read recently that you want to share with others? Why not write a book review for us? Here’s what you’ll need to do:

• Write 100-120 words on any type of book – chapter books, graphic novels, fiction, non-fiction… even audiobooks are all welcome! No person, reader type, format or genre is excluded
• Tell us what the book is about, what you most enjoyed about it, how the book made you feel and if you had any favourite parts
• Suggest which type of reader would enjoy it
• A picture of the reader holding the book is welcome, too, but not essential
• You could even submit a review as a whole class

Send all book reviews in to [email protected] or by clicking the button below.
