Nathan Page, a Primary 4 pupil from St Margaret’s RC Primary, who won the prize with his fantastic piece of writing The story of a snail. Here’s Nathan reading his imaginative, humorous and visual piece of writing at the awards ceremony held at Central Library.
There were over 1000 entries for this year’s eco-writing competition, on the theme of “Birds and Beasties”. Many young wordsmiths from across Edinburgh’s schools were commended for their entries.
The Green Pencil Award competition launched earlier this month and this year’s theme is ‘Birds & Beasties’. We’d like entrants to write about the wildlife they’ve encountered – at the bottom of the garden, in the local park, on a woodland walk, at the top of a munro – wherever inspiration and the great outdoors collides!
The competition is open to all Primary 4 to 7 aged children in Edinburgh. Budding writers are asked to submit a piece of creative writing – a story or poem – no more than one side of A4 paper in length. Entries can come from schools or individuals and should be handed in at libraries.
The closing date is 12th October 2012 and more information can be found on our council web pages.
