Two weeks ago I was watching Doctor Who with my daughter when up flashed an invitation to Primary schools to write a short script.  What a great idea!  Kids get a chance to write something which, if lucky, gets filmed.  I looked up the project on the BBC website and they have a great resource of old scripts and storyboards -- just what one needs to show kids.

So I have got the school's permission to work with a few children.  There are five kids, all nine years old, a predominance of girls, which surprised me.  It has to be their creative work, though of course I am there to guide them, which I suppose will mean typing all the long words.  I know that they don't need my creative ideas as all the ideas they have come up with are mind-boggling.  The challenge will be to focus their minds on making a story with a beginning, middle and end.
