Winter Stories 2010/11

 

Fife school pupils are encouraged to participate in the Writing Stories area that run from time to time in the Digtial Kingdom pages in glow.

In the winter of 2010/11 we ran a Winter Stories competition which had almost 50 entries.

This winter of 2011 will be asking pupils to choose one of the 8 key story starts (below), write their story and upload it to the Key Ingredients Story Writing Club in the Digital Kingdom site.

Invitation to pupils - Upload your story to glow

This isn’t a competition, as we’d like to read a wide variety of stories whatever age you are. Keep looking at each others’ work to see what other budding authors come up with.
