Leader community content editor Claire Pierce, with some of the Ysgol Penyffordd pupils.

Ahead of creating a newspaper of their own, Year 5 and 6 children at the Flintshire primary welcomed a journalist to the school.

Claire Pierce, community content editor at the Leader, gave a talk on key things to consider when putting a publication together, including punchy headlines, good images and a mix of hard news and features, all held together with the all important editing.

The pupils then asked a series of questions, including how to go about getting a story in a paper and what they would need to do for a career in journalism.

Asked for one of her favourite stories she had written, Claire spoke about an interview with a medium, who believed she could talk to spirits, which sparked much excitement from the young audience.

Claire said: "It was a genuine treat to be able to talk about what I do and share some tips. The children gave me their full attention and made me feel incredibly welcome. I can't wait to see what they put together for their own newspaper.

"And going by the excellent questions and desire to know more, I think we may see a few Ysgol Penyffordd faces at the Leader headquarters in the future."
