Children from Longsight Community Primary School in Manchester take over Big Issue North this week, producing news and features for other young people to enjoy – and grown-ups as well.
They interview George Webster, the upbeat and inspiring children’s TV presenter, who tells them why having Down’s Syndrome does not stop him doing anything.
Patrick, a Manchester-based Big Issue North vendor, tells his year five interviewers what it’s like to sell the magazine and about his hopes for the future.
Pupils from as far afield as Somalia, Iraq, Nepal and Spain recount coming to the UK and explain what it means to them to have a home, and Horrid Henry author Francesca Simon reveals her plans for her next books – about Terrible Vikings.
