PUPILS from Garnteg Primary

School visited the South Wales Argus

and Free Press newsroom in the

run up to the publication today of

a a newspaper they were part of

creating.

Your Free Press today includes the

first edition of The Buzz which pupils

from five Torfaen Schools have

spent the past few weeks creating.

The visit by year 6 pupils of Garnteg

Primary School last week was

all part of the build up to today’s

launch.

Kai Baldwin, 11, said that they

came to find out how a newspaper

is produced and to tell the staff at

the Argus about their own paper.

Phoebe Manning, 10 said “I

was really impressed with all the

things going on and how fast people

typed.”

The Free Press is delighted to feature

the newspaper called The Buzz

from page 25 of this week’s edition.

The newspaper has been created

in a joint project involving pupils

from Abersychan Comprehensive

School, Blaenavon VC Heritage

School, Cwmffrwdoer Primary

School, Garnteg Primary School

and Victoria Primary School.

The initiative is part of a creative

project to improve writing standards

and the pupils have focused on

a wide range of topics.

These include the latest craze for

doing the ‘dab’, tips for a bottle

flipping challenge and the story of

Alfie the school chicken.

Free Press editor Nicole Garnon

said: “The resulting newspaper the

pupils have produced is fantastic.

We are delighted to have been asked

to be involved with this great project.”
