Well, I’m almost grown up and am (finally) on the way to being a writer, so when the people behind innocent kids drinks told me about their latest venture to discover young writing talent, I was very keen to get involved.
innocent have teamed up with acclaimed children’s author Francesca Simon, author of the excellent ‘Horrid Henry’ books, to get children across Ireland and the UK involved in creating a series of 26 stories.
Francesca has written the opening lines to each of these 26 stories, but starting on Monday 19th October, she is handing the rest of the story over to the kids! Who knows what will happen next?!
Every day, until 13th November, children can log onto www.innocentkids.com/magnets select a letter of the alphabet which takes their fancy and continue Francesca’s story.
Each day, the winning line from each story submitted will be selected with prizes awarded to the winner. The competition then starts all over again the following day so there are plenty of chances to get involved.What a great way to encourage creativity and inspire young minds to ‘get writing’.
For further details of rules and prizes, visit the website www.innocentkids.com/magnets
Good luck everybody. Who knows - we may discover the next Francesca Simon or J K Rowling! Now, get writing!
wish they were including australia - might get bub 1 and 2 doing it anyway - just for fun :)
