Environmental Thinking for Young Writer’s Competition

For this year’s Young Writers Competition, organised by the Rotary Club, Boscawen, our pupils at Prep School were, once more, inspired to put pen to paper and write about this year’s environmental theme.

72 of our Year 5 and 6 pupils entered the writing competition with a recurrent theme of the environmental damage being caused by human development and the urgent need for us to take preventative action: our young minds of today, already taking care of their tomorrows. Could we be any more inspired by them?

Of the 116 entries from four schools in the junior section, our pupils gleaned the top three places.
First: Sam B
Second: Gabriel
Third: Barney

Highly commended: Harris, Lowenna, Archie S, Rosie M, Winnie and Max M.

Sam’s entry has now gone forward to the Rotary District (Devon and Cornwall) level. We have just been informed that Sam has been announced as the winner and his entry will now go on to the National level judging. A truly fantastic effort!

We are extremely proud of our writers and congratulate them all.
