Trip to the Guardian offices

 A few weeks ago I went to the Guardian offices on a school trip. The building was very big and had many large windows. Inside, it was warm compared to the icy outside and there were pictures of the set used for the advertisement with the theme of the the three little pigs story. We were led up an escalator by a lady who  I later found out was called Elli Narewski. She took us to an office, where we designed our own newspaper covers. We were shown pieces of news just like the ones coming live into the newsroom. Elli told us to choose two stories to use information from for our front covers. She took photos of us to put on the newspaper. After we had chosen what stories we wanted to do, we wrote our first draft. Then we had lunch. The lunch hall had some really big bright lampshades that I wished we had in our house.

Near the end of lunchtime, I looked out of one of the large windows, at the canal. There were barges floating on the water and graffiti on a wall nearby saying,"OPEN U EYES". The window was right above the canal, so it was a little bit scary looking down from it. There were some adults eating lunch there, as well. Not just the teachers, but some real newspaper writers. They were eating food from the canteen, but we brought our own lunches.

After the lunch break, we edited our work and added headlines and bylines. I took a few photos, too.
