Children from schools across Warwickshire were asked to submit a creative piece – a poem, a song or a short story piece – of no more than 200 words on the key themes of Safer Internet Day: Respect Online and #BeCyberKind.
A large number of entrants were received across all three age categories (6-8 year old; 9-11 year old and 12+) and the standard was very high, leaving judges with the very tough task of picking the best. The winners in each category were:
6-8 year old category
9-11 year old category
12+ category
The presentations of the prizes have been taking place over the last few weeks. Sofia Warden (pictured below), from Arden Forest Infant School received her prize from the Police & Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe and Jo-An Golding from Warwickshire Police. Her entry, which was entitled “The true story of the Little Unicorn”, was a lovely tale which was really enjoyed by all the judges. It can be read below.
We hope to display some more of the entries around the county over coming months – keep a look out for them making an appearance near you!
