Find out about the history-making SpaceX rocket which has just landed at the International Space Station – making notes as you read: BBC Newsround – SpaceX docks to ISS: NASA astronauts land safely and make history: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52526849 Imagine Newsround have asked you to do a TV news bulletin for their show about the SpaceX rocket landing. Write a news report script about the landing. To help when writing your news script, think about including these points: -Introduce yourself and explain what your news is, in a short summary sentence ‘Good evening, my name is… Tonight’s main news is…’ - Stick to the key facts – making your news as clear as possible - You may wish to include quotes from the astronauts which can be found in the article - Give a closing statement to end your bulletin ‘I’m … and this has been tonight’s news.
