HENRIETTA BRANFORD WRITING COMPETITION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE 2007

So you want to be a writer? Now's your chance

The Henrietta Branford Writing Competition is an annual competition for young people which runs in conjunction with the prestigious Branford Boase Award for debut children's fiction. The competition is open to any young writer under the age of 19. Six winners are invited to the celebration party in London at which the Branford Boase Award is given. There they can meet authors, editors, publishers, agents, and other professionals in this field.

Entrants must complete a story begun by last year's winner, Frances Hardinge, author of Fly by Night, and submit it by Friday 25th May. Full details, along with the starter paragraph from Frances Hardinge, can be found on

[scroll down for competition details]

As you would expect, Disney have designed a feature-full website to accompany release of The Lion And The Witch And The Wardrobe on December 8th. Included at the bottom of the main screen, but easy to miss, is a link to the website of the excellent organisation Film Education. This organisation constantly produces and circulates curriculum materials to schools to encourage links between film and the teaching of various subjects, bu particularly (for obvious reasons) literacy.

http://www.filmeducation.org/primary/narnia.htmlThis page includes downloadable pdf study sheets suitable for KS2 Literacy and KS3 English.

As announced last week, we have a complete set of Narnia Audiobooks on CD to give away to a lucky winner. Deadline for entries will be December15th, to allow dispatch in time for Christmas.
