Creative writing competition deadline approaches
The deadline is fast approaching for a writing competition that asks young people ‘What will North Kesteven Look like in 50 years’ time?’
To help mark 50 years since North Kesteven District Council was formed, the Council recently launched a writing competition for Key Stage Two pupils.
Now, the deadline of 22 November 2024 is fast approaching.
Entrants are invited to imagine an exciting future for the District in the year 2074 and create a piece of writing to describe it.
Information on the competition was sent to all schools in North Kesteven and it is hoped that many young people will enter and share their ideas.
The competition is open to all pupils (including home-schooled) who live or study in the District. Prizes are on offer to the winner and runner up of each Key Stage Two year group, and an overall winner will be crowned.
The Council has even created lesson plans for schools or families to use and spark conversations about what the future for North Kesteven might be like. The aim of the activity is to get young people thinking about their District and engaging in both their community and Council operations at a young age to better understand local issues and democracy.
