    • Live news broadcasts - English We have been reading 'Boy in the Tower' as part of our English unit. We wrote and filmed some live news broadcasts reporting on the buildings falling without warning and the unexplained deaths around Camberwell. Our broadcasts needed to explain the events and facts clearly, use appropriate vocabulary, use present and past perfect tense, and have a little bit of speculation in too!
