1. Colour the scene. Pictures can be downloaded from the street fayre website or collected from Alne school/outside 5 Gale Road. (Age groups A and B)

2. Mosaic caterpillar. Our tribute to the classic story The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Use the caterpillar template to create a colourful mosaic. Stick on cut up pieces of paper or other materials to make a caterpillar that really stands out! Templates can be collected from Alne school/outside 5 Gale Road. (Age groups A, B and C)

3. Book Cover. Design a new book cover for your favourite book. Draw an eye- catching picture for the front and if you are in age group C, also write a short ’blurb’ for the back. Use one sheet of A4 paper or card, folded in half. If you wish, the blurb can be typed on a computer and printed out/stuck on. The front picture should be hand-drawn. (Entries in age group B will be judged purely on the front cover, age group C on the front and back) (Age groups B and C)

4. Shoe Box Scene. Create a scene from one of your favourite stories inside a shoe box (or other small cardboard box). Add characters if you wish - make your own, or blank wooden characters can be collected from Alne school/outside 5 Gale Road - maximum of 3 per person! (Age Groups B and C and D)

5. Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. Bake and decorate some cupcakes fit to be served at the Mad Hatter’s tea party. Any suitable recipe may be used. Cakes will be judged purely on presentation. Choose your best 4 to display on a decorated plate. (Adult help may be given with the baking in age group C.)
(Age groups C and D)

6. ‘Once upon a time there was........’ Continue the iconic story opener! This should be a short story (200-500 words) and can be either hand-written or typed. This entry is judged on content and not on presentation.
