Young Writers Mini-Sagas Competition

Wednesday, 27 April 2011 10:58

The contest is on as hundreds of students in Years 7, 8 and 9 English classes have entered the Young Writers Mini-Sagas Competition with the chance to have their work published and win up to £1,000 for the school.

A mini-saga is a condensed story that requires students to tell a riveting tale in no more than 50 words.  Students took up the challenge in English lessons prior to Easter, enhancing their vocabulary and stretching their storytelling skills as they aimed to capture readers from the outset – and sometimes finish with a twist.

Congratulations to the top five entrants from our school:

Stan Clarke, Year 8
Aleesha Nabarro, Year 9
Tom Walpole, Year 8
Georgia Williams, Year 9
Curtis Wright, Year 9

Special mention also goes to: Ashley Kirby, Rosie Branford, Amy Turner, Emily-Skye Lines, Samuel King, Dylan Calver and Connor Oldridge for top quality work.

Congratulations to all entrants.  We wish you the best of luck, with our eyes on the top prize.
