How to win Skill Stars on the Hub!
Tom @ the BNC
28 August 2020
Stars are awarded when you show Burnet News Club skills.
Skills are really important for understanding the news and they help you do well in school and in life too! So everything we do helps you to develop them.
Our four Burnet News Club skills are speaking, listening, problem-solving and creativity.
Join Tom below for a recap on what these skills mean, and how to show them on the Hub.

Hello committed_maths! Every year we have an awards ceremony to celebrate the BNC users who have made an extra special effort. We aren't sure where it will be for this year's winners just yet, but it is always a fantastic occasion. We hope to see you there!

Thanks Katie for answering I just wanted to ask that cause our teacher said that if Covid-19 wouldn't have happened then we would have been able to go to the awards ceremony.😁

i have a question
who ever gets the most stars what will they get to do?
There is an awards ceremony at the end of the year for students who have won lots of stars but also for those who have made lots of progress or impressed us in different ways!
Hi Olivia,
When exactly is that ceremony and is do schools also have a ceremony as in which school gets most stars?
selfassured_journalist
It's at the end of the school year and schools can have their own ceremonies if they wish- maybe one to talk to your teacher about!

Wow thanks Tom this really helped!

I am selfassured_journalist and I have 2 things to say.
Firstly, thank you Tom because using this post I now have 4 stars.
Secondly, I was wondering, is there any place or period in life that we would need to use all 4 skills?
Thanks again,
selfassured_journalist
So glad you asked, selfassured_journalist - scroll down to the bottom of this page to read why we focus on them: https://economistfoundation.org/news-literacy/

How do I get an idea to make a post about? I'm desperately thinking of a post that is original and is hopefully, discussion starting but I don't know how to get the idea for my post.
Good question, spirited_insect! When we create new posts, the first thing we do is research. Have a look at some different news stories and see what they are saying about work. If anything looks particularly interesting, then that's probably a good thing to post about! Check through existing posts before you do though, just to double-check that nobody else got there first.
Thanks, Katie. I found a news story yesterday about work but thought it wasn't very interesting so now maybe I'll make a post about it.
