What is it? A writing competition open to ALL students, Prep to 6. Students enter under their name, grade and HOUSE. Points will be awarded to the students’ houses for every person who enters.
When is it? The writing competition will open from Friday the 9th of June and close on Monday the 19th of June. Entries are handed to the CLASS TEACHER. Students will be given one or two lessons to work on their entry in class time, but any final editing or corrections will need to be done at home.
THEME: My Life So Far. Please include this idea in the story. This could be based on the student’s actual life experiences, or can be a fictional character.
Submissions: Students may submit a creative writing piece (narrative or poem). It needs to be submitted on A4 paper.
MUST HAVE: Entries must be labelled with the student’s first and last names, class and HOUSE. The entry must be legible (at an age appropriate level – Years 4 – 6 Typed and spellchecked, option to type for younger grades). Students must submit their own work. It must be original, and not previously awarded any prizes in other writing competitions. Parents and teachers may help with basic editing before the story is submitted, but not write the text for the student.
Entries will be chosen from every grade to be published in a Thomas Hassall Magazine! A winning entry from each grade will also receive a mystery (book related) prize!
