Talented writers from up and down the country have been shortlisted as Regional Finalists in the Explore Learning Writers' Awards! We announce the names here...
We are so thrilled that over 17,000 children were inspired to write 500 words on the theme of 'A Chance to Change the World' for the Explore Learning Writers' Awards. We got a real insight into how children feel about topics including climate change, animal conservation and the effect of plastic on our natural environments, and we were genuinely impressed by their fantastic ideas! Well done to everyone who took part in the competition – you’re all amazing!
