We are sorry but the full site content is only available to registered CLiCNews users.
CLiC News is the exciting venture from the Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) Access and Civic Engagement (ACE) Office, that brings you all the latest news stories written and produced especially for primary school pupils.
Our free news website, CLiC News, was set up in conjunction with the TU Dublin School of Media and Students Learning with Communities (SLWC) to provide a resource for DEIS schools in Dublin. We have subsequently made the site available to all primary schools but provide added support to local DEIS schools.We have set up a restricted site as we want to produce a safe environment for children which allows them to leave comments without feeling intimidated and ensures that they will only come in contact with their peers or teachers.
Within the site, news items are written by Journalist students from the TU Dublin at a level which reflects the age range of the children (4th, 5th and 6th class) and is presented in a way which precludes using graphical images and language which are unsuitable for young children.
As an encouragement and aid to improving Reading and Writing skills the children are encouraged to comment on stories which have been published.
All the children's comments are pre-moderated and awarded stars based on their grammar and content. We also provide facilities for registered teachers to download the children s comments from their school so that the content can be assessed offline.
Within CLiC News, as a parallel to published news items, we run various Polls and Competitions all designed to help improve the level and standards of literacy among the children.
For more information on CLiC News and how you may apply to register your class please contact us HERE
CLiC News is run in conjunction with the Journalism Department in TU Dublin Grangegorman and is part of an initiative run by the 'Students Learning With Communities' (SLWC) programme.

My siblings have Revolut Junior. I wish I could have it too but my mom doesn’t trust me with it for some reason. I wonder how it works by sending money to the child. It’s really convenient because you don’t need to give the child real money and they might lose the real money. For example , you can send your child money anytime when they aren’t home and when they need it. This idea is smart and helpful for those parents. Thanks for reading my comment!

Hello, my name is Regina and I am from Ukraine. In my school, we were told about this protest in France. I sympathize with the French. But I didn't know that their streets are so dirty now. Although I sympathize with the people who will clean up all this garbage. 😢 Good luck to France. Thank you click news for interesting articles

Hello, my name is Regina and I am from Ukraine. The Irish are very well done for building many museums with their history. Irish history is very interesting and fascinating. And I really want that when the war in Ukraine ends and we start rebuilding all the museums that were destroyed by the russians. I can't wait to go to this museum. Thank you click news for such interesting articles, you are the best. 🌷

Hi my name is Regina and I am from Ukrainian to be honest, I don't really like this game, but I played it several times at my neighbor's house. I am sure that he will be very happy when he finds out about it. He understands this very well. But when I read about this season, I must definitely try to play it. Thank you click news for these wonderful articles.

Hello, my name is Regina. it is too much. So that the plastic breaks like a whole stone. People, please sort the garbage and take care of yourself if you don't want the fish to die out, if all the fish die out, then we will soon die out too. For example, at our school, we sort everything into different bins. Thanks for the informative articles. You are the best.
