BBC School Report
We took part in BBC News School Report Day on 16 March 2017
The BBC News School Report team investigated the Surrey-based Delight Charity which uses arts experiences and books to increase childhood literacy. The team looked at the work that Delight do and how they are supported through their partnership with Caterham School.
We asked the Caterham BBC News School Report team what they gained from the project and which bits they enjoyed the most!
