This Week’s Successes & News
Writing Competition Winners
Mrs Gregory ran a writing competition that was open to all the children across the school
in the run up to World Book Day. There were lots of entries and this made Mrs
Gregory’s job of judging the best very difficult! However, the lucky winners were; Mikey
Montgomery, Lily Creed, Cayden Hards, Hetty Quigley, Rebecca Fletcher, Toby Jackson
and Gabrielle Sellier. They each won a £5.00 book voucher that could be used at the
Scholastics Book Fair. Well done to all that took part.
