The KS2 Creative Writing Club has entered its first competition!

Members of the KS2 Creative Writing Club have entered the BBC 500 words competition!

500 Words is open to any child who is aged between 5 and 13 years old on 8th June 2018, and is a full time resident of the UK.

There are two age groups in the 500 Words competition – one for children aged 5-9, and another for children aged 10-13.

There are Gold, Silver and Bronze prizes up for grabs in each age group!

1st Prize – Chris Evans’ height in books!

The Gold winners in each age group will win a pile of books as tall as Chris – that’s 1.88 metres! – and 500 books for their school library.

2nd Prize – HRH’s height in books!

The Silver winners will be awarded a stack of books as tall as our Honorary Judge, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall!

3rd Prize – Your own height in books!

Our Bronze winners will walk away with their own height in books!

Chris Evans created the competition to celebrate imagination and creativity – not spelling and grammar! – so all children of all abilities are invited to enter.

Our entrants will find out in March if their stories have made it through the first round of judging – how exciting. all entrants are entered into a random ballot to receive tickets for the competition final at Hampton Court palace in June!

Watch this space – and wish our Ralphie entrants Good Luck!
