Competition – BBC 500 Words
Many of our children submitted stories for the BBC 500 Words competition. Liza from Tanzanite Class submitted a story which was chosen for a special prize and she had the honour of visiting Buckingham Palace as part of the celebrations. St Joseph’s school was chosen in a prize draw to receive 500 books and an art mural for our Upper KS2 hall.
The competition was launched in 2011 to encourage children of all abilities to use their creativity and imagination to write a story they would love to read. Every story entered into the competition is sent to Oxford University Press who use the stories to help understand the language children are using and what they are interested in to ultimately improve the way English is taught in schools.
