Our Community

Elthorne is running two exciting competitions in conjunction with the summer Whole School Read. Check out the details below! Closing date is the 25th of September. 

Competition 1 - WRITING
“Remembered Voices” – creative writing competition.

Write a piece of fiction (up to 500 words) that explores one of the novel's core themes: brotherhood, injustice, the passage of time, or the human cost of war. 

Entries can take any form — a short story, poem, a diary extract, a letter, or a monologue. Your writing can be any genre or setting (other than WW1). Remember – show, don’t tell, and focus on small, human moments over generic statements about war.

Competition 2 - CREATIVITY

"Trench art" object design — students design or make a small object (real or illustrated) that Tommo or Charlie might have kept in their pocket, with a short artist's statement explaining it.
Graphic novel page — adapt a single scene from the book into a sequential comic/graphic novel page (no full illustration skill needed, storyboard style matters.)

Judges from the Art and DT department will be looking for originality and creativity!

We can't wait to read your entries. #participate Image
