What’s next for Felix and Felicity?

2024 Essay Competition for Grade 4 learners

Calling all educators and schools of the Western Cape!

We are proud to announce that we have a winner for the 2023 Story Stars Essay Competition.
Zia van den Berg
from Kenridge Primary was named the winner.

We shared the past winners stories in the 2023 Story Stars readers that was delivered to your school at then end of January this year.

The deadline for entries is 10 May 2024.

We would like to you to encourage all your Grade 4 learners to enter the competition and for their teachers to submit the best stories in their class.

A rubric for assessment is included in the entry booklet.

To recap, Story Stars is the epic adventure of Felix and Felicity written by learners of the Western Cape and it’s time to send our heroes on their next quest. We want your learners to tell us what happens next?

Watch the latest episode, share it with your class and let’s get writing. Learners will need to write Felix and Felicity’s next chapter with themselves as the hero of the story.
