On April 2nd 1805, Hans Christian Anderson was born. He went on to write some of the best known and loved fairy tales; stories that are still told today. He is arguably most famous for The Little Mermaid.
To celebrate his life and work the English department is holding a creative writing competition.
Write a fairy tale no longer than two sides of A4.
You could take an existing fairy tale and twist it around, bring it into the 21st century, or create brand new fairy tale all your own.
Entries should be submitted to Ms Norton in the Brookvale Library.
Deadline for entries is Friday 4th May.
The competition will be judged by the English, Media and Literacy department and a prize linked to the anniversary will be awarded to the winner.
Good luck!

In your Lifeskills lessons this week you should focus on revision of your ELit 19th C novel ( either Christmas Carol or Frankenstein). Use the revision guide to revise characters, plot , themes and relationships. However, if you have a Language speaking test you may focus on that instead. You may not turn up with nothing to do!
