1. 1st Prize is a £50 voucher of your choice (one prize awarded per category).
2. Writing will be judged on it's originality and use of language. 600 word limit.
3. Attend Learning Champions on Thursdays (from 12.30 at Kingsland Road) for support with your piece.

This is a fantastic opportunity to show off your creative writing skills for a chance to win a £50 voucher but to also have a piece of writing on our website and social media platforms. This is also a great project to have on your CV!

We will also be hosting an awards event to announce the winners of the competition. This will allow the students and tutors to come together to celebrate the pieces you will be creating.

You must keep your work under 600 words and final work must be entered by Monday 12th June. Please attend the Learning Champions workshop on Thursdays if you need support or inspiration.

The competition is open until Monday 12th June so make sure you either hand your entries into Catherine or email her at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Good luck to everyone!

Tots and Toddlers Book Clubs are family reading programmes consisting of learning and development for children aged 0-4. We aim to help families who want to improve their spoken and written English who may be new to the UK, unemployed and/or living in deprived boroughs. Parents and children get involved through the introduction and exploration of books, song, rhyme and book choosing. We firmly believe learning together as a family can create remarkable results and real community integration.

We are inclusive
This blog is open to all the students and staff at Elatt.

We respect each other
We come from different countries and we have different cultures so we should respect each other as we are, even when we have different opinions.

We are democratic
We shall discuss each article as a group before uploading it to the blog.

We respect people's privacy
We won't share private information on the blog and always ask for consent from ELATT students who we write about.

We value quality
Our writing should be clear, concise, true and grammatically accurate, and we will always try to make an interesting point.
