Congratulations to Pearl, Sorcha and Lilly from Room 8 who placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Tim Bray "The Magic Faraway Tree" colouring competition, and to their teacher Lee for encouraging them!
I loved reading "The Magic Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton to my own children, who are now young adults. I know many teachers have enjoyed reading this book to their classes over the years. When I saw the competition on FB, I thought it would be fun to share it with children at lunchtimes in the library, and with the teachers.
Children of all ages loved colouring in the pictures. I posted a big envelope full of entries in time for the deadline and wished them luck.
I know we have talented children at Woodlands Park School, and was thrilled when I received the email saying that despite over 150 entries, we had won all three places in the age 8+ category!
First prize is a family pass to the Tim Bray production, and 2nd and 3rd prizes are book vouchers from the wonderful Dorothy Butler Children's Bookshop. Here are some pics of the happy prizewinners.
I told the children that there would be children entering from all around the country, but it's always worth giving something a go.
Thank you so much to Tim Bray and Dorothy Butlers Children's Bookshop for putting a smile on these faces.
