The Year 6 boys are proud to launch their two online books: Mini Sagas and Writing Hacks. Please take a look! By reading, you will be able to learn how to write a great narrative. You will also see which skills the boys have mastered, and can be surprised by their amazing, twisted tales.
For years now, we have been submitting work to Young Writers in the hope of getting the work from our budding writers published. With great pride, we can now announce that this will be our largest submission yet: we have 41 entries - one from each boy in Year 6. Just like their writers, the stories are AMAZING and we couldn't be more impressed with the boys. They have come up with fantastically original ideas and have written them up in beautifully crafted sentences.
Young Writers publish collections of poems and mini sagas (stories written in 100 words of fewer) and this term we are entering the competition entitled: A Twist in the Tale. Mrs Moscatelli and I have worked with the boys to edit the stories (as the competition requires the work to be without grammar and spelling errors), but these stories are very much the work of the boys and not us.
In the last week, we have run our own in-house competition for the mini sagas with the Year 7 and 8 boys being the judges. The entries were anonymous (for obvious reasons), but I also included two stories from the Young Writer's website; they were ones that had been winners last year (but in the 11-18 age category). Interestingly, the Year 7 and 8 boys chose Solefield winners, which goes to show just how brilliant our young writers are. Congratulations to each and every Year 6 boy for this incredible achievement!
