It's back and bigger and better than ever! Here at Shawclough we encourage creativity  and would like to take this opportunity to encourage our young and budding writers to enter this fantastic competition.  Now in it's 7th year, CITV's share a story is a creative writing competition which gives kids a chance to let their imagination loose.  This year, children's author and poet, Michael Rosen, is the share a story ambassador.

 

The competition has 4 age group categories 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 and finally 11-12.  These age categories make it an ideal competition for all Primary School children.  The winner of each age category will be given the chance of a lifetime to work with Michael Rosen in a writing workshop before having their story made into a short animation.  The animations will then be shown on CITV.

 

For more information on how to enter please see the posters around school or visit the following links.
