Write a Book in a Day

Write a Book in a Day is a fun, creative and collaborative nationally run competition for our students in years 5 & 6. Usually run between 1 June and 30 September 2022. Teams of up to ten have just twelve hours to write and illustrate a book from start to finish.

In the past three years we have been nationally shortlisted, with our site finishing 2nd out of 1000 entries nationwide in 2020 & currently shortlisted again in 2022.
