WHat's your news?

What's Your News? is an award winning children's TV programme produced by TT Animations. We have been working together to bring you 'a taster' of this fantastic series. You'll find some very loveable characters interviewing real children about their real news. We have made two worksheets of varying levels for children to do as they watch. Over the coming months we will be publishing eight more clips, so keep your eyes open for them!
