“We love this newspaper for children - we use it to inform the pupils of what is happening in the big world and First News often features in our 'Thought of the Day'. The language is child friendly and confronts some difficult world news as well as fun features and photographs.”
“My class love First News! They love discussing the Picture news articles! Every week, it starts off the most wonderful discussions. They also love having a physical newspaper to read each week and puzzles to solve.”
“Each Tuesday lunch time , we meet enthusiastically for First News Club . The group enjoy Fake news and any news on wildlife , natural disasters or sport around the world . We have great discussions after watching and then locate their favorite report in the most recent edition - lots of facts and fun learning and current affairs

“The children love reading the papers and look forward to our delivery every week! The news is relevant and engaging - the children can't wait to share things that they've read about with me! All the news is written in an age appropriate manner and has helped to inform them about various issues within their world. Within KS2, we also loved entering into the speech writing competition that had been organised by First News - the newspapers are engaging our children as readers, but also inspiring writing opportunities too.”
