This year's FOBISIA Primary Poetry Competition invited students in Key Stage 2 to write poems around the theme 'Where I Go'. They could interpret this in any way they wished. There were two categories: Years 3&4 and Years 5&6.
All the children who entered the competition should be so happy with their efforts, as they really worked hard to create beautifully constructed poems. House points were awarded to all entrants, and additional house points were award to the top entries in each category.
Years 3&4
1st place - Emerson, Year 4 • ‘Fly Little Butterfly’
2nd place - Virsa, Year 4 • ‘Dreams’
Years 5&6
1st place - Lily, Year 5 • ‘Where I Go’
2nd place - Aysha, Year 6 • ‘Where I Go’
3rd place - Aarav, Year 6 • ‘Where I Go’
FOBISIA FINALISTS
Only ONE entry could be sent for each category for the final judging against all the other FOBISIA schools. These were the two entries that were chosen:
