Doncaster Stories weekly writing challenges
Doncaster Stories has created a brand new series of writing challenges for children to complete during the lockdown period.
Every Monday (during term time) we will release a new writing challenge inspired by Doncaster. It might be that a local landmark or statue comes to life, or maybe there's an alien invasion, or there's a friendly ghost in Cusworth Hall.
The challenges are an opportunity for children to be creative about their home town, whilst making use of their literacy skills until schools reopen.
We'll post a new challenge on this page every Monday and we'll even feature some of the entries on our website, so keep your eyes peeled!
