Scottish Book Trust 50 word competition

Welcome back everyone. Hope you all had a great holiday and got plenty reading done. I managed 5 books. Let me know if you read more!

Have been mulling over some creative ideas to make breaktime/lunchtimes more fun. Watch out in the next  few weeks. In the meantime for the S1 pupils who have been writing their own murderous stories why not give  the 50 word competition at Scottish BookTrust a go. You have to write a short story featuring fireworks. To be submitted online by end of January. And if you give me a copy we will see what prizes we can find for our own school library prize. Full details can be found at
Scottish Book Trust website.
