A free writing competition with a healthy eating twist! 🥦🧀🍎
Picture this: a classroom buzzing with excitement, young minds ignited with creativity, and the aroma of imagination filling the air. In Partnership with the lovely team at Booths supermarkets we are on a mission to inspire the next generation of writers, and this time, we're delving into the world of healthy eating. Our fun, free writing competition for Key Stage 2 pupils in the UK will inspire brilliant writing, encourage healthy eating and give them a chance to win some awesome prizes! We can't wait for you and your students to be a part of it!
Booths bring you the best food and drink in 27 stores across North West England, Pobble is delighted to be working in partnership with Booths to educate young minds about eating healthy foods.
What's it all about?
By incorporating the theme of healthy eating into our writing competition, we aim to empower young minds with knowledge that lasts a lifetime. Your class will create an exciting story that promotes healthy eating. A great story needs all the right ingredients. It needs an exciting setting, a powerful main character and a problem that needs solving. To help, we've created some ideas for each of these for them. All your class have to do is...
Choose a setting:
Choose a main character:
Choose a problem that needs solving:
Once they've chosen which they'd like to include in their story, use our prompts to spark their imaginations then encourage your class to pick up their pencils and get writing! 💡📝 You can access all of these ideas in our free lesson plan. It's got all the 'write' ingredients to help your class produce an incredible piece of writing.
Teaching ideas💡
We understand the demands on your time. That's why we've created a free creative writing lesson plan for you. It's designed to save you time and inspire your young writers.
This lesson is full of ideas, prompts and supporting resources that allow you to run your own 'All the Write Ingredients' lesson and class writing competition. The lesson includes a selection of inspiring images for settings, characters and a problem that needs solving as well as word banks, poster ideas and sentence openers as well as writing and discussion activities. Your class can learn about making healthy choices, before creating a healthy eating story to encourage other people to make healthy food choices. It's more than just a writing exercise; it's a journey into the world of imagination with a side of nutritional wisdom.
