Integer – Stories Inspired by Number

Just before Christmas we promoted the ‘Young Writers’ competition titled, Integer.

Students were asked to write a short story based on or around numbers and do so in exactly 100 words. It may sound easy but it takes good writing skills to construct a story in such a small word count. Stories were submitted online and, having now received word from the organisers, I am delighted to tell you that eighteen of our students’ stories have been selected for publication! Once permission has been granted by parent/carers their stories will appear in book format which is a compilation of all winning entries.

All winners are given the opportunity to buy their own copy to keep at home but a copy will also be available in the LRC for all students to view. Winners came from years 7- 10 and we are enormously proud of their achievement. Please join me in congratulating the following students: Kai Pierre (7), Igor Lasota (7), Aleyna Sener (7), Zain Cherifi (7),  Aleyna Sener (7), Taylan Sefer (7), Tuana Sener (7), Natasha Jackson (7), Gabriella Didiomenco (8), Elisa Mustafa (9), Antreas Papadopoulos (9), Eliana Blackman (9), Joseph Pozzuto (9), Arda Korkmaz (9), Zam Francis (9), Stephanie Gyamfi-Manu (9), Ria Oscar (9), Natasha Jackson and Sarah Collins (10)
