Children in Need
School Reporters at Whitley Academy caught up with fellow pupil Joan before she sings in front of the nation on BBC Children in Need.
Joan is one of 10 young people on The Big Performance, who have been practising for the big annual fundraising night on Friday 18 November 2011.
The Big Performance shows the journey of shy children who love to sing and are bought together to form a choir led by Gareth Malone.
As a fellow pupil and former Whitley Academy School Reporter, Joan was happy to be interviewed. She said: "It gives me an idea what to say if I am interviewed again."
