This is another poetry competition that you can get sign up for. As you know Mother's Day is in March. I know it seems like a lot of time but actually it's not that far!! . You need to send in your poetry in celebration of your mother or mother figure, because a mum can come in many forms. It could be a step-mum, grandmother or female figure who has always been there for you. 

What would you like to say to her? 

Would you like to give thanks for all the things she's done for you or tell her why she is such a huge part of your life? 

What is it about her that is so special and makes her better than the rest? 

Whatever you would like to write for her... 

If you're interested in, please start writing :) and contact me.

             Hi everyone :) I have wonderful news for you! I'm sure most of you will be interested in it.
          There's a new English Language teaching programme co-produced by the BBC and the British Council called "Word on the Street". 
To get in to this competition, you need to shoot a short video ( max. 2 minutes) about a place that you like in your city. Imagine in it as a video version of a leaflet :)
             If you're interested in, please check out this website and contact me for more information! You need to be quick because the  competition ends on Monday,11th February 2013. I think this can be a fun activity that you can do during the term holiday!
              I forgot to mention :) Some selected videos will be screened on TRT Okul before or after the Word on the Street programme at 22:25 every Sunday.
Here are some sample videos, click here.
