Memory Lane schooldays: Westmere reporters report for duty

Meet the super scribes at Westmere Primary School in Sutton Bridge, pictured in February 1989, with pages from their school newsletter which was regularly sold to between 100 and 200 parents.
Each issue of Westmere News took about a day to produce, with copies selling at between 10p and 25p.
The project was so successful that the newsletter was entered into a national competition where the pupils could win the chance to produce a page for the Daily Telegraph.
School staff said the benefits for the children were enormous as the youngsters learned to interview, write stories and features, use computers and provide illustrations.
