PROJECT

Formerly known as Children's Express, Headliners is a UK-wide news agency producing news, features and comment by young people for everyone.

Through a unique learning through journalism programme, young people aged 8 to 19 research and write stories on issues that are important to them for publication in national and local newspapers, magazines, television and radio.

The aim of this blog, created by Maëlle Guéroult and Connor Scullion, is to let every young person from Northern Ireland express their ideas and opinions, whatever their background.

The views contained in this blog are those of the individual writer and are not necessarily endorsed by Headliners, the host school or any other partner organisation.

Old joe hovers slowly home
Starting at the lambs in country tyrone
The dog and his bone

Snow on the window leadge,
Children making snowmen and having fun together
lots of joy and laughter

The sun shining through
The heat warming up the room
Children in the pool

Sitting there in the stand
The rain falling down, a Winter day
The port's done us again

Spring

Little lambs are grazing in the field
Birds chirping in the woods

The ball is kicked up
The players run at the enemy team
The first tackle is made

Fabregas scores the winning goal
The fans are in a total uproar,
Fabregas jumped on by supporters

I lost my X-Box
My mummie stole it on me
It's Winter, it's cold
There's nothing to do

Good start, speeding, first!
Oh no sliping, sliding, fall,

Winter really sucks
your hands get frozen so much
hope it's over soon

Winter really sucks
you get cold and stuff like that
it is really bad

Summer is the bomb
you can skate and stuff like that
it is really fun

I can't write haiku poems
It's winter and my brain cannot cope
help me with my poem
