We’ve had a wonderful response to this year’s children’s poetry competition – giving the judges the taxing task of choosing winners from the extremely high standard of entries.
First prize - a year’s free Junior Membership of GCT and Tui De Roy’s book Galapagos: Islands Born of Fire - went to Amy Fellows of Milking Bank Primary School for her poem Conservation in the Galapagos.
Her verse pressed home the timely point that ‘Campaigns are hard and costly and funds are really needed,/ But with our help problems will be solved and we can say that we’ve succeeded.’
Second prize winner, Dean Elder from Tynecastle High School, received a Kosen plush tortoise for his poem, which focused on the plight of Lonesome George, while Alice Stubbings, of Croydon High Junior Department, won third prize and a Galapagos story book with her plea to save all the Galapagos animals.
