Writing Workshop with Stu to launch the 2011 Val Shearer Memorial Trophy Children's Writing Competition for Year 5 & 6 Hibiscus Coast school children.
A fantastic morning was had by 8 different schools when Gulf Harbour School hosted the Hibiscus Writers yr5/6 Writing Competition Workshop.
We were very lucky to have Stu Duval along to give 107 budding writers inspiration in their writing.
Each contestant will now submit a fiction piece, a non-fiction piece and a poem by September 16th.
Section prizes include copies of Stu's books and the overall winner will receive the Val Shearer Cup, currently being held by Kingsway. An Anthology is also produced of the winning works.
Full details are available on their website www.hibiscuscoastwriters.weebly.com

Wonderful Websites #1
Hi, and welcome to the Check This Out blog. Every week, we'll be showing you "wonderful websites" or "Cool Classes" to show you what's going on around the world wide web, or right here at GHS!
You know, sometimes I get the writing bug - it’s itchy and scratchy, and wont leave me alone until I’ve filled pages with ideas.
But what happens when you know you want to write, but don’t know what to write about, or need a new, creative way to display your writing? It’s called “Writer’s Block” and it’s like banging your head into a brick wall!
I’ve been searching the web for some really neat websites that can help you out! Here’s what I’ve found...
http://www.pimpampum.net/bookr is a really neat tool. It uses pictures from Flickr that you choose, and text that you write. When you are finished creating, press publish, and you can email it to your friends, parents and even your teacher!
