Young Writers’ Poetry Competition

8/3/2015

0 Comments

 
The University of Winchester Writers’ Festival 2015 has just announced a competition that I think may interest budding young writers across the country. It is FREE to enter and entrants are invited to send poems about summer of no more than 30 lines as follows:

Age group 6-11: write about what summer means to you.
Age group 12-16: write about your experiences of summer: travel, staying at home, exams, or simply the feelings, impressions or sensory details it evokes.

Each of the categories offers prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners and a framed certificate. Prizes will be awarded at an awards tea on 27 June 2015 in Winchester.

Follow this link to the competition for instructions on how to submit by post. Good luck everyone!

World Book Day - Newtown School

8/3/2015

0 Comments

 
I visited Newtown C of E Primary School for World Book Day. I got a terrific welcome from the children, over 400 of them, and their teachers.

Everyone made a special effort to come as characters from their favourite books or films. There were beautiful costumes such as Princess Elsa, Alice in Wonderland, The Cat in the Hat, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Superman, Mary Poppins, and there was even an Annie. The children guessed my character right away when I banged a walking stick on the floor – of course I was Nanny McPhee!

Some of the children presented me with their drawings before I left. There were goblins, mermaids, and all sorts of fantastical creatures with description as well. I was really pleased to see some "good" goblins even though they looked evil! It is very important to never judge anyone or anything by how it may seem at first sight.

The drawings will be uploaded into my Goblin Gallery, but I'm also posting them in my blog, below, because they were all so good - just click on them for a bigger sized image.

Remember - keep reading, keep writing, and keep on drawing.
