Series 5: 500 Words 2023
Live from the Story Museum in Oxford, Mwaksy Mudenda and Joe Tasker celebrate 500 Words, the UK’s most successful short story writing competition for children aged 5 to 11.\n\nThroughout this live programme, Mwaksy, Joe and a team of young helpers are tasked with creating a fun and original story idea that we would all love to read. They are joined by 500 Words judges Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Charlie Higson and Francesca Simon, who provide our budding writers with top tips and advice on how to start their own 500 Words stories, concentrating on characters, plot and endings.\n\nWe also hear from 500 Words judge Malorie Blackman and rapper MC Grammar as they head out and about to inspire creative stories we can all enjoy. Inspired by this Live Lesson, children are encouraged to write their own 500 Words story to enter in the competition, which opens on Tuesday 26 September and will run until Friday 10 November.
