The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has launched an essay competition, Story Stars, for Grade 4 learners.
Primary schools in the province received materials for it, including story books, learner books and cut-outs for the Grade 4 classrooms.
Story Stars is an animated short film created by using stories written and narrated by Grade 4 learners. It details the first adventures of Felix and Felicity, and can be viewed and/or downloaded at wcedonline.westerncape.gov.za/story-stars.
Teachers are encouraged to let their learners read the story, watch the film and finish the story using the books.
They are to write themselves into the story to complete the adventure, and submit their essays to the WCED by 20 March. There are prizes for the learners and educators.
