34 of our pupils have recently had their work published in a new book produced by the Young Writers, entitled ‘Grim Tales – Welsh Legends.’ Pupils were set the task of re-writing a popular fairy tale/ story but in only 100 words!  A special celebratory assembly was held on Friday where pupils were awarded certificates for their fantastic achievement and pupils read their work aloud. It was a very proud moment for the English department and Mr Jarvis. This book is placed in libraries across the country and is now sat alongside ‘Poetopia’, another collection of our pupils’ work in the school library which saw over 100 of our pupils’ poems published.

We have recently entered the ‘Poetry Trials’, another national competition, with over 200 of pupils entered and with a chance of publication. This is due to be published later this year. Next up – ‘Spine Chillers’ - another word limitation task where pupils need to put their imaginative writing skills to the test and produce a scary story of only 100 words. The closing date is 31^st March and we look forward to reading the work that our creative pupils produce.
