Five children from Year 6 Lucy, Amy, Holly, Natasha and Jordan had a fantastic opportunity this week as they visited Lord Lawson School in Birtley to represent Bill Quay in a writing competition. They met Peter J Murray, award-winning author of Mokee Joe, as he launched the writing competition. He read an introduction to a story then the children were asked to come up with a fantastic ending to it, in no more than 1000 words. The top three story endings were then to be selected by the judges. Unfortunately Bill Quay didn't get chosen but, this challenge certainly ignited the children's imagination and they had great fun sharing ideas for their story.

Well done to everyone who took part.
