WRITE A BOOK IN  DAY

Drizzle fell from the stormy clouds that filled the sky.

Breath emerged as steam from the mouths of commuters. Pavements were slick with moss and water. It was a miserable day.

Fortunately, the students who participated in the Write a Book in a Day competition didn't have to worry about something as pesky as the weather at all. Why? These students didn't have to worry about the outside world, because they were too busy building their own worlds, in the comfort of room 101.

Teams of students from Year 7 to Year 11 sculpted and shaped the lives of certain mandatory characters from a criteria sheet. A giraffe, an acrobat and a mechanic had to have their lives dictated by teams of six to ten. These fantastical lives took place in a quarry and their stories revolved around a fundraising event.

These stories also had to be illustrated, so needless to say, the students thoroughly enjoyed a day away from reality, designing hilarious plots and colourful characters.

Run and organised Ms Brahmin, the Write a Book in a Day competition was as hilarious and entertaining as it sounds.
