Words by the Water Finalist
Well done Freddie!
Last month, pupils in P5 entered a young writer’s competition organised by Keswick Theatre - Words by the Water. The task was to write a short story (300 words) with the title: On Your Doorstep.
All the pieces of writing were worthy of winning a prize but Freddie’s writing was shortlisted to be a finalist. This meant, that last Saturday, we were invited to Keswick Theatre and Freddie’s story was read out by the president of the festival because it was judged to be the very best piece of writing by her. It was great to hear all the features that she considered made his writing a winning piece. The prizes were handed out by Tom Palmer the writer of many popular books.
