ROVING reporters from a primary school have produced their own newspaper.

CR3 NEWS –made by 12 nine and ten-year-olds at Kenley Primary in New Barn Lane – is packed full of stories, from a report on the children's visit to the BBC TV studios in Shepherd's Bush to a review of the Oxo Tower restaurant on London's South Bank.

To celebrate the youngsters' hard work Coulsdon and Purley Advertiser reporter, Lucy Buckland, presented the group with a front page containing the best two stories as judged by the Advertiser.

Winners Sophia Jaitly and Alex Downham were picked for their report on a visit to a Kenley care home, which was full of fascinating details.

The pair e-mailed the Advertiser this week and said: "When Lucy told us that we had won the best report award we felt so excited, glad and happy. We can't wait to see our faces in the newspaper."

A thrilling eye-witness account of a car smash in Kenley by Rebecca Bishop came second.

To add to our congratulations we have printed part of the winning entry in the paper.
