Welcome to Once Upon A Website, a site where story-telling kids can unleash their creative talents and win prizes for their stories!
A new competition has begun! From now until Sunday January 16th 2011 you can write stories about the wonderful objects you'll find on this site and enter them into the contest. There are great prizes to be won for the best three stories!
This new contest will run alongside Take Another Look, an exciting exhibition with some great stories of its own to tell! The exhibition will be at Tullie House Museum in Carlisle from 20 November 2010 to 16 January 2011.
Over the next few pages you can discover mysterious, beautiful or just strange objects from Tullie House Museum that can inspire your own stories of adventure, science fiction, mystery, romance or anything else you’d like to write. You can submit your story to be published on the website, and read the stories written by others.
Explore the next few pages by clicking on one of the green tabs above. You'll find objects and tales of Roman and Medieval times - what would it have been like to live that long ago? Find out about birds and beetles and discover a game played by World War 2 soldiers in Africa.
Thank you to Lees Hill School for their help in making these pages!
