The BBC are currently running a short story competition. To enter, children are to submit a fictional short story. There are 2 age categories 5-9 years and 10-13 years. The closing date is the 26th February. Here is the link to the website, which gives you further information. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00rfvk1
If your child wishes to take part they can write their story on paper and bring it into school. Alternatively you can help them type it up and insert it as a comment into this blog post.
I have included some images above that you may wish to use to support your child with ideas for their story. For example, where will the story be set? Who will the main characters be? What exciting or mysterious events will take place?
It is important that this is your child’s own work but some adult support, particularly if typing the story up, is encouraged.
