Here is Marshside Writing Club's second online magazine publication.

We only managed to meet four times this half term. I think the girls did pretty well to have fun, eat cookies and actually get some writing done too.

The Princess and the Footy

I'm just finishing off putting together the Writing Club magazine. Big thanks to Claire Massey for telling me how to format and organise an online magazine - she knows all about it, as you can see here.

At some point I'll blog about everything that has occurred as a result of winning the Edge Hill MA Prize, but things are still happening, including a radio 4 interview which I will blog about soon.

For now, here is another re-imagined fairy tale from the Writing Club magazine:


The Princess and the Footy

Once upon a time there was a Prince who was a real Liverpool FC supporter. Out of the millions of girls he had been out with, none of them were real Liverpool supporters. They were pretending to be Liverpool supporters to impress him.

            
            One really hot day a Princess came into the Prince’s castle because she was sunburnt. She was a real Liverpool Supporter. When it was night the Prince put a signed Liverpool ball at the bottom of her bed.

           In the morning the Princess felt the ball. The Prince was spying on her. He saw her kiss the ball and he had found a perfect match.

Rapunzel

In writing club this half term the children are re-imagining fairy tales as Jon Scieszka did so wonderfully in The Stinky Cheeseman. Here is one of the stories that will appear in our magazine later this month:

Rapunzel

Once upon a time there lived a young girl named Rapunzel.

Rapunzel had been locked in a tower all her life, never to be let down. She had very long hair, but instead of the hair being “hair” it was spaghetti!
One day Rapunzel was looking out of the tower when a big fat man came along.
‘I’m your Prince,’ said the man untruthfully.
‘Then come and rescue me,’ said Rapunzel.
But instead of rescuing her he sprinkled cheese on her spaghetti hair and ate it all up.
‘Are you a food critic?’ Rapunzel said.
‘She’s onto me,’ the man said and he ran away.

The Stinky Cheese Man ~ Writing Club

There is not enough time to embark on a big writing project with the writing club this half term. There are school trips, a school production, sports day and taster days at local high schools to compete with. Consequently, we will be reimagining some traditional tales with the help of a fabulous book The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Tales.

Here's a link to my goodreads review:


The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A subversive and hilarious take on fairy tales that had my six year old daughter laughing out loud.Crazy illustrations which are as warped as the tales themselves add more fun to the reading experience and the alternative story endings provoke discussion as well as giggles – a great children’s book.

Hopefully we will produce some equally entertaining stories and publish them in the first edition of our writing magazine – fingers crossed.
