COVENTRY students have been rewarded after excelling in Children’s Book Week competition.
Housing association Platform organised a competition that encompasses both art and literature for Aldermoor Farm Primary School.
Children aged seven and eight took part in a book cover designing competition about new homes, the winner and runner up received their drawings framed to take home as well as being displayed in the show home at the new development near the school.
A donation of 90 children’s book was also given to the school – one for every entry – on a range of topics including animals, space and the weather.
Emma Hardy, assistant headteacher, said: “The book cover drawing competition really helped to engage our year three pupils across both drawing and an understanding of books.
“The children were given a really open brief and the opportunity to name their book too, so it was great to see their imaginations running wild.
“We’re also very grateful for the donation of 90 children’s books, these will go a long way to enriching our younger children’s education and will hopefully help to inspire a love of reading.”
Sabina Cox, marketing manager at Platform added: “We’re really pleased to have provided this donation to the children of Aldermoor Farm Primary School.
“We hope that the pupils love getting involved with these stories and that it helps to inspiring a love of reading or other passions within the books.”
