Whole Class Success for our Budding Young Writers!

Just before Christmas, all the children in Skylarks entered a creative writing competition run by Young Writers. Our task was to write a short story about Time Travel. Our tales could be no longer than 100 words, which was actually much trickier than we first thought as we needed to include a beginning, middle and end.

Excitedly, we spent a few weeks planning, writing and improving our Time Travelling Tales. Our ideas included abandoned theme parks, dinosaurs, ancient Egyptians and zombies!

We had a brilliant surprise when a parcel arrived containing letters and certificates saying that we had all been accepted to have our stories published in a book. The book will be sent to the London library as well as lots of other libraries around the country. The school will receive a copy and our parents can purchase a copy to keep forever.

The book will be published on 30th April 2016.

Everyone is feeling full of exhilaration and we are looking forward to seeing the outcome. Watch this space!
