To promote writing and celebrate the great work being created in Gargieston and across the SWEIC (South West Education Improvement Collaborative), entries are invited for a writing competition. Alongside prizes for the winners and runners-up in each category, pupils will have their writing shared on the SWEIC blog.

The theme of the competition is ‘The Gift’ and work submitted can be linked to this idea in any way. You may wish to link it to Christmas, but you might also want to think about the idea of gifts and giving in a different way.

Early Years’ Entries Pupils can share their mark-making or dictated ideas. Entries should be within one A4 page and may be pictures, photographs or in any other appropriate form.

P1-3 Entries Entries can take any form that they choose. The entry must be no longer than one side of A4 and can be illustrated. Typed or handwritten entries will be accepted.

P4-7 Entries Entries from this age group should be broadly creative: poetry, story or drama. They may be up to two sides of A4 and can include illustrations.

We know how many talented writers we have in school and would love to see as many entries from Gargieston as possible.

Please email or hand entries to Mrs Lawson no later than Monday 13th December
