Young reporters were keen to glean some tips from parliamentary correspondent Sean Curran in preparation for their BBC coverage of the UK Youth Parliament debate in the House of Commons on 30 October.
Six students from The Piggott School in Berkshire and 9 Members of the UK Youth Parliament took part in a day's training, in a building just across the road from the Houses of Parliament, where the debates will take place.
Several of the photographs in the gallery were taken by Riz, 14, from Brent, who also wrote the captions. Here he is concentrating on what his fellow Members of the Youth Parliament have to say.
Alex, 18, and Daniel, 12, introduce themselves as they prepare for the media storm ahead.
Shabana, 17, and Tia, 12, discuss their plans for being the next top journalists during training in the Westminster offices.
Tom, 18, from the East Midlands, poses across the road from Parliament at the Millbank base shared by the Parliament Press Office and the BBC.
The young journalists rose to the challenge and there was not a glimmer of fatigue among them...
Except for one. Yasmin, Miss Edmonson's dog, was in need of a well deserved nap.
Katie, 13, and Hannah, 12, practice different styles of writing for the BBC website ahead of the real reporting.
