To celebrate this event, Gloucestershire Libraries has teamed up with the Year 5/6 class at Stroud Valley Community Primary School for an exciting and collaborative writing competition. Students were given an imaginative prompt to jumpstart their inspiration, after which half the class wrote the beginning of their own stories, then passed them to the other half to finish.
These shared pieces were judged by Blue Peter award-winning Gloucestershire author Andy Seed (Interview with a Panda, British Museum: Going for Gold), and the co-writers of the top three stories will receive vouchers to explore the technology in Stroud Library’s Lab, with an additional prize for the overall winner.
Congratulations to Isla and Sylvie for their grand prize story, and to the other two top stories by Billy and Opal and Ronin and Bella.
We want to express our gratitude to Andy Seed for his time and expertise, and the entire Year 5/6 class who enthusiastically embraced this creative exercise. We had teleportation, bank robberies, giant dogs, secret labs, floating cookies, and so much more. Watch for these wildly creative joint tales in and around Stroud Library from the 3rd to the 8th of February.
