Over the past couple of months, fifteen of our Year 5 pupils have had some excellent experiences as part of Study United's Reading Stars programme. So far, they have met a real, live author - the terrific Tom Palmer - and rapped along with renowned rap artist, Breis. Lucky Frankie was the delighted winner of one of his books, for writing the best rap of the morning, and Charlie astounded all of the other schools present with his rapping skills.

Yesterday, however, was the highlight of the programme when the children had the opportunity to interview four (Yes, four!) of Scunthorpe United's players. Although all of the children were quite nervous to start with, they performed amazingly, asking some quite tricky and probing questions, several of which really stumped some of the players. The children's confidence and oracy skills were a delight to see and really impressed all the adults at Study United.

The children absolutely loved seeing themselves on the television screen during their interviews with the players, reading from the autocue and even performing a Chris Kamara style match report afterwards. We will hopefully be able to upload their interviews to the website soon  - watch this space!
