SCRIBBLE
YR 7 Little Miss Good Judgement Who didn’t love the Mr Men books? They were a childhood favourite of so many. The Year 7 ‘Little Miss’ competition last term was so exciting and this annual competition gave girls an opportunity to write their own short children’s story. All of the entries were fantastic; the winning team, Zaynab Khan, Alice Pearson, Jemma Greatorex, Lucia Schrijver-Maydew and Catherine Read, came up with Little Miss Good Judgement who begins a new school. The short story has a didactic message and shows us that we should always speak kind words about others. Read the winning story below and, who knows, some of the members of the winning team may be published authors one day! In a small town, Little Miss Good Judgement was very excited as she was starting a new school tomorrow. Little Miss Good Judgement wasn’t nervous about making friends.

“I’d love too!” Little Miss Mean settled down beside her and Little Miss Good Judgement started plaiting her hair. “Have you made any friends yet?” asked Little Miss Mean.
“Yes, I am best friends with Little Miss Messy”. Little Miss Mean and her gang started giggling. “Hey, it’s not funny” said Little Miss Good Judgement. They stopped laughing and Little Miss Mean said:

“I think I can judge with who I’m friends with and I don’t want to be friends with people who insult my best friend!”
