CHILDREN’S HANDWRITING

Judge: Mrs Sharon Brown

Class 84             Handwriting – Year 2 & under

Mr. Twit felt that this hairiness made him look terrifically wise and grand. But in truth he was neither of these things. Mr. Twit was a twit.

Roald Dahl – The Twits.

Class 85     Handwriting – Year 3

On a volcanic island, in the middle of shark-infested waters, stands The Cruel School. The lessons are appalling, the school dinners are revolting and the teachers are terrifying – especially the mysterious Science teacher Doctor Doktur.

David Walliams – Mega Monster.

Class 86                  Handwriting – Year 4

“GO FOR HIS EYES! OR BITE HIM ON THE NOSE! DRAGON NOSES ARE VERY SENSITIVE!”

Oh, very helpful, Camicazi, very helpful … thought Hiccup. What if he doesn’t obligingly hold me up to his nose? What if the only part I get close to is the TEETH?

Cressida Cowell – How to break a Dragon’s Heart.

Class 87                  Handwriting – Year 5

“I WISH I HAD BETTER PARENTS!” Barry said, a third time. And then, suddenly the entire room started to shake. But there is a world where parents don’t just have children. That’s far too random for something so big and important. Instead, children are allowed to choose their parents.

David Baddiel – The Parent Agency.

Class 88                  Handwriting – Year 6

Never have Aman and his mother needed a friend more than when a Springer Spaniel appears – thin and war ravaged – in the mouth of their Afghan cave where they struggle to survive in a world of poverty, corruption and police brutality. Nursed back to health by Aman, the dog becomes a constant companion, a shadow, and that’s what Aman decides to call her.

Michael Morpurgo – Shadow.
