Menacing scythe swinging

Angelic woman milking

Ghostly cow standing

Colourful shops bustling

Shadowy train trundling

Quaint houses leaning

Bored goat bleating

Velveteen cap perching

Unheimlich pram rolling

Book Review

Delamere School

‘I've just finished reading a series called Slated, by Teri Terry. This is a dystopian book about children under the age of 16 who get

'slated' if they've committed a bad deed. Being slated is the process where all your memories

are wiped blank, causing you to have no memories of what you have done in your past life. A young girl named Kyla has been slated.

Despite this, her memories are not staying buried and she is determined to discover why and how people are being slated, and who is

behind the surgery’.

BBC Own It

BBC Young Reporter is helping young people share their stories of how coronavirus is impacting on their lives.

The project offers 11-18 year olds across the UK the chance to report with BBC programmes and platforms.

What sort of stories do they want to hear?

They are looking for stories that are original and really reflect how coronavirus is uniquely impacting on young people's lives.

Is there something in particular that has affected your family or community that hasn't been reported on yet?

What is helping you dealing with the new way we are all having to live our lives?
