100 Word Stories

This week we are writing stories. The only tools we have to do this is 100 words!
The stories will be about things, events or times in our lives that have moved us to happiness or sadness.
We are going to enter the completed stories in a competition run by the Readers Digest Magazine. The prize in £1000 for the winning entry plus £1000 for the school do there is a lot to play for. We started by writing the story without worrying about the number of words and then we will refine the story to 'boil it down' to 100 words.
The results should be interesting!
