Young Writers’ Competition Winners for Big Green Poetry Machine book series

Recently Bebington High Sports College submitted some of our pupils’ work for the Young Writers’ The Big Green Poetry Machine book series.

The Young Writers received in excess of 25,000 entries for the competition, from all over the UK and Overseas. We are delighted to announce three students from Bebington High Sports College have had their work selected for publication in the book series.

Rachel Hellon, Chloe Dodgson and Ryan Jones all Year 7 Students have had their poems chosen for publication in a softback glossy book called Talkin’ ‘Bout My Generation -Young Voices, which is scheduled for publication on the 30 September 2008.

The Poems were selected for publication based on perception, imagination, expression, good use of language and interpretation of poetry. The ‘Spirit’ of the poem is also taken into account along with the writers age.

During lessons the Year 7 students had discussed the types of poetry from all around the world and taking this into account the students then chose their own topic and style of poetry to write about. All three students who had their poems selected for publication were extremely pleased at the outcome and excited that their hard work had been acknowledged.

It is a real testament to the exciting curriculum offered by the school. Bebington High Sports College are very proud of their budding poets and thrilled by the students commitment to the task.
