Our finalists attended the writing competition celebration at Swasvesey Village College on Thursday 27th June. 

The event was a wonderful culmination of the whole writing competition and saw winners awarded across the cluster.  The finalist entries were sent to the judges, who were the children's author, Mini Grey, and members of the St Ives Rotary club, without any identification (the child's name nor the school), and so they were truly judged independently.

Bella, one of our Yr3/4 finalists, won this age category, while Millie (also Yr3/4) and Aggie (Yr5/6) both received 'Highly commended' for their stories.

The judges were impressed with the quality of writing by all the finalists and found the task of deciding a winner difficult but enjoyable.
