This competition was
very difficult to judge because the stories were all very good and they were
very different.
Everyone who
contributed did an excellent job.
Therefore, there is a small prize for all those who participated.
The best story is the
one told from the point of view of the Easter bunny ‘the Helping Hand’. The narrative flows well and is well put
together. It also turns a very
complicated list of words into a simple story which is easy to follow. This was achieved by using more words than
some of the other competitors.
The most romantic
stories are ‘Twelve Years a Slave Love’ and ‘The Midnight Party’. They also
contain very original use of language by the children who wrote them.
The stories which
have the most concise use of language are ‘Midnight in London’ and ‘the Good Aardvark Flies on a Comet’. The ‘good
aardvark flies on a comet’ uses the most words from word of the week in the shortest
text.
The story with the
most words in it from word of the week is ‘The Goldfish
that Wanted to Fly’. This also contains very interesting ideas which link the story very well.
The cleverest title
and the most tightly written story, was ‘the Sustainability of a Dream’. This used language in a very clever and
succinct way.
Every child who
contributed has practised putting together sentences in English – free writing –
and this is very difficult.
Congratulations to everyone who participated.
It was impossible to choose as every story was delightful in its own right.
Happy story telling....
