Blists Hill Writing Competition
Ironbridge Gorge Museums have launched a short story writing competition – with the 2 winners receiving Book Tokens!
They are looking for budding and enthusiastic little writers to create their own story, themed and inspired by the iconic Victorian period (1837-1901). Following our Victorian topic in the Autumn term, I thought this was a fantastic opportunity for you to show off your super knowledge in a story. Each story should not exceed 500 words and there are bonus points for illustrations! You can find further details below...
Good luck!
