Manchester Airport is calling on schools across the north to get involved in its ‘Little Book of Travel Tales’, which will collect children’s poems, short stories and illustrations on the subject of travel, and will be distributed to youngsters travelling through the airport this summer.

The ‘Little Book of Travel Tales’ returns for 2024 after a successful launch last year, and schools entering the competition this year will be in with a chance of winning a special visit to the airport and a contribution to their school library, as well as seeing their pupils’ work in print.

Pupils’ work should focus on one of the following themes:

• People at airports
• Aeroplanes­
• Flying ­
• Travelling
• Holidays
• Different countries / cultures
• Working in an airport

Stories and poems submitted should be 500 words or fewer and clearly labelled with the school name, teacher’s name, pupil’s first name, initial of their surname, and age. 

Teachers should register online here and then post their top 10 entries to Joanna Jackson (Education Manager), Olympic House, Manchester Airport, M90 1QX. Submissions should be made by Friday 24 May.
