BBC Radio 2 500 Word Challenge

Killin Primary’s After School Writing Club decided to participate in the BBC Radio 2, 500 Words. We could write about any subject of our choice as long as we didn’t go over the 500 word limit.

We worked very hard at Writing Club and during lunch times in order to finish our stories on time. When we submitted them, we received a Certificate for taking part. The winning prize is to have your story read at the Tower of London. We will hear in April this year so keep your fingers crossed!

Well done to Iona, Nyah, Leo, Jamie, Naomi, Cailtin and Keira for taking part.

This week, P6/7 released the salmon they had been looking after into a local burn. They then went to Almondbank near Perth to have a look round a salmon hatchery.   

The pupils will return soon to check on their progress…
