DIVINE / CHRISTIAN AID FAIRTRADE POETRY
COMPETITION
My Chocolate Shop
Imagine owning your own chocolate shop! My Chocolate Shop is the title of this years Divine/Christian Aid Poetry Competition. This competition has moved to the Spring term so teachers can take advantage of celebrating FT Fortnight and indulge in some literacy work! This year, for the first time, we have a Welsh language competition judged by the new Welsh-language Children’s Poet Laureate, Eurig Salisbury. The competition categories are 7-11 and 12-16. There is also a 17+ age group for English language contestants only.
Further details can be found on the flyers attached and coming soon on our websites, where you’ll also find resources for teachers – links below.
