A children’s poetry competition has been launched where the winners will be given the chance to read their poems at a conference about anti bullying.
Ahead of Anti Bullying Week 2014, which takes place in November, school children are encouraged to write an original poem based on the anti bullying week theme which is “Let’s stop bullying for all”.
Three categories
There are three categories for entries which are years 5 to 6, years 7 to 9 and years 10 to 11. There will be two winners from the first two categories, and three from years 10 to 11.
As well as having the chance to read their poems at the anti bullying conference on Wednesday 22 October, winning entries will also be given a prize.
The closing date for entries is 5pm on Friday 26 September.
Poems can be sent via children’s schools or sent directly to Anti Bullying Competition, Early Help Team, Floor 3, County Hall, Newport, PO30 1UD or emailed to [email protected].
