My Life
Story Competition
A few months ago we ran a story telling competition so we could learn about life through the eyes and words of the children.
The competition was run at the primary school where there are 16 children being sponsored by Seeds for Development.
We received 214 stories! They are amazing and with great difficulty we have chosen 42 for our long list.
Have a look through their stories, they are amazing! We would love your feedback on the stories you like best.
Here are the rules:
-
Write a short story about your life
-
Draw a picture to go with your story
-
Use one side of A4 paper
-
Write your name and age
-
Hand it to your teacher
