Attention young authors! Laura Farris launches her short story competition for Newbury school children

In celebration of World Book Day, I am teaming up with the major UK publisher Pearson to launch my first short story competition for all primary school pupils in the Newbury constituency. 

Entries should be emailed to me directly at Laura.Farris.MP@parliament.uk by 12pm on Friday 26th February by a parent, guardian or teacher and should include the following information:

  • Name of child and name of a parent/ guardian.
  • The age of the entrant
  • Their full address 
  • Their short story, which can be of any length for a Key Stage 1 pupil or no more than 500 words for a Key Stage 2 pupil
  • The email address of their parent/ guardian.

 

I will pick two winners: one from Key Stage 1 (Years 1 & 2) and one from Key Stage 2 (Years 3, 4, 5 & 6). I will announce the winners on World Book Day (Thursday 4th March) and they receive a tailored book bundle from Pearson.

I am so looking forward to reading all your entries!

Coronavirus Update

After a year like no other, the end is in sight. As of today, the ‘stay local’ instruction is relaxed, people can mix in groups of up to six (or two households) outdoors and outdoor sports can resume like golf and tennis.
