Prize draw prizes…

First prize: 3 house points; Second prize: 2 house points; Third prize: 1 house point

What to do…

Write out a brief story of…

A ‘bad’ event that turned out not so ‘bad’ OR A ‘good’ event that turned out not so ‘good’.

It can be… A story from your life; A story from a parent’s life; A story about a celebrity; An event in a movie – or even an event in history.

Example…

‘Bad’ event:  When my dad was 17, he fancied a girl, so he climbed a tree to spy in her home using binoculars. He fell out of the tree and got knocked over by a car!
What’s good: the girl ran outside, brought him inside the house, fell in love with him, they married – and made me!

– Marty McFly, Year 8

(I borrowed that story from the terrific movie Back To The Future.)

You can enter as many times as you want: but put each story on a separate sheet. Make sure you put your name and class on each piece of paper!

This is a draw, so…
if you hand in 3 sheets of paper with 3 stories on it… 
you TRIPLE your chance of winning!

Deadline: 3pm Thursday in Miss Conte’s office.
