Children Primary School Writing Competition Awards

Our popular Primary School writing competition has had another successful year..

Children are our future,  our work to protect and enhance this county is for this generation and the next and the next….

The theme on this year was “What I love about North Yorkshire”, where children were challenged spend time in North Yorkshire over the Summer Holidays and once back at school, write about what they love about our beautiful countryside.

Age groups have been set to allow for all participants to have a fair chance at winning and have equal skills as their peers. These consist of KS1 and KS2

The main aim for the competition is to allow young people to explore some of the amazing country side that we see everyday and creativity to develop their writing skills.

The over school winner was judged by David Rose, the CPRE North Regional Chairman.
