Leith pupils urged to show the write stuff

PRIMARY pupils in Leith are being given the chance to get creative in a writing competition.

As part of the Leith Festival's literature strand, P5 pupils in all Leith primary schools will be invited to pen an original story to enter the contest.

They will be given inspiration by local children's author Lari Don, who will be hosting a creative writing workshop for the pupils.

The stories will be judged and an awards ceremony will take place on 11 June, the opening day of the festival.
