The Junior School recently held a writing competition, based around the theme of “Clouds”.
We were thrilled with how many students entered a story or poem around this theme. Ms Hansford and I loved reading through the entries from the finalists for each grade. It was challenging to pick winners but those pieces that received places were chosen for their originality, descriptive language, sophistication of sentences and storytelling. The winning entries will be published in a digital format, enabling more to have access to these. This will be released late Term 4.
Prize winners will be rewarded with a certificate and a book related prize. Our winners and highly commended achievers from Year 1 – 6 will also take part in a writing workshop with published author, Deborah Abela, to hone their writing skills. This will occur later in Term 2.
Well done to all who entered and congratulations to the winners listed below. Stay tuned for an upcoming P – 6 illustrators’ competition.
