Hello and welcome to The Week Junior Show. I'm Bex and I'm joined by a writer's Eve and Joe from the

Week Junior, the magazine Making Sense of the World for 8 to 14 year olds. This week, the team will be giving

an update on the Artemis 2 Moon Mission, talking about Daddy Pig's plans to run the London

marathon and having a big debate about opening words to the public. Make sure you're listening closely, because at the end of this episode, we'll be asking you a question about what you've heard, and if you answer it correctly, you could win a prize. But more on that later. In the meantime, in this week's issue, there is an interview with author Sophie Anderson where she shares her four top tips for writing a fairy tale.

And it got me thinking if you could spend the day in any fairy tale, which one would you choose and why?

Eve, how about you?

I would say Jack and the Beanstalk because I would love to climb up the beanstalk and then explore the world of giants

and just see just how big they really are, basically.

But I wouldn't want to anger them like Jack does.

Yeah, no fair enough.

Are you climbing right to the top

or are you taking a little detour on the way

to check out some leaves and some clouds?

Definitely a detour on the way.

Because also, it's probably a tiring, tiring climb. So I'd need a few breaks on the way. Maybe I'd bring up a little picnic

to sort of soft on the way up, look at the view down below and then carry on going.

A lovely day out. I appreciate that. Joe, how about you? What are you doing in your fairy tale land?

I think I'd go into a little red riding hood. I like getting out in nature. And I think it'd be fun to go for a nice walk in the woods, right? And then I reckon it would probably be quite easy to spot if there was a wolf flying in bed in place of my grandma. So I feel like come the end of the story, I'd be able to act quickly and respond accordingly. So there wouldn't be too much trouble. It would end well. It would end well. I know I think the fairy tale sometimes ends well, sometimes doesn't. But for me, I'm confident it would end well and you know I get out into nature

which we'll talk a bit more about later in the podcast so it ties them quite nicely

a lovely tease and throw in shade at poor old little red riding hood there for not noticing

the wolf in her grandma's bed fair enough I'm going to go for the three bears on this one because

I love porridge and I just feel like they clearly know how to make a good porridge and they know how to make it just right. So I want to find out their top secret recipes for porridge making to be honest. I think that's where I'm going if I could spend the day in a fairy tale. But I think, I reckon our listeners will have a lot of thoughts on this one. So there's lots and lots of fairy tales out
