500 Word Challenge


Today we joined up with hundreds of schools across the country to watch a live stream from the BBC's 500 Word Challenge!

It was hosted by Alex Jones from The One Show and it featured the author Frank Cottrell Boyce. Mr. Boyce talked to us about how he finds inspiration for his stories and read us his own 500 Word Story. 

There was also a group of students from a Scottish school who told us how our stories will be judged and what makes a great story.

Finally, Mr. Boyce answered some questions from the audience and gave us his top 3 tips for writing.

Frank Cottrell Boyce's Big 3 Writing Tips:
1. Think Big!
2. Just start!
3. Rewrite your work!

It was great!
