Next year, a new curriculum from an Eng-
lish university will be coming to Key Bis-
cayne K-8 Center to start to prepare stu-
dents for MAST. This new program, the
Cambridge Program, will be implemented
in grades 5, 6, and 7.
MAST already offers the program.
Ms. Tarafa says that the main reason for
the Cambridge Program is that it “will help
with the transition for the students [to]
MAST, whether they leave in middle school
or in high school.”
You don’t know what the Cambridge Pro-
gram is? Well, the Cambridge Program is a
curriculum for grades K-12 including math,
science and English (language arts).
The Cambridge program is used in 160
countries by over 9,000 schools across the
globe. The Miami-Dade school district
plans to have 80 Cambridge Programs at
about 70 schools by 2016.

The Shark Attack newspaper
crew went to WPLG Local 10’s
Hallandale headquarters on May
19 and we got to see how a real
news station really works. A tour
guide showed us what goes on
behind the scenes as well as on
the air.
First we saw where the stories
that are reported are written. It
was a big room full of cubicles
and the writers were busy at work
to get ready for the news at noon.
Next, we were taken to the con-
trol room where all of the shows,
commercials and the news are
broadcast.
In this room there is one person
who switches on the shows and
makes sure nothing goes wrong.
So remember this when you’re
watching shows like “Once Upon
A Time” and “Modern Family.”
After that, we were shown to the
room where the producers con-
trol the background and speak to
the reporters through their ear
