CS Lewis Festival poetry competition
Mon 18 Dec 2017She's definitely got a way with words! Congratulations to Courtenay from Mr Ryden's class who was a runner-up in the Primary School category of EastSide Partnership's CS Lewis Festival poetry competition. Entrants were invited to write a very short poem, based on the festival theme ‘Surprised by Joy’, about what surprises them about east Belfast, in less than 140 characters - the maximum length of a tweet on Twitter. Her poem about CS Lewis Square was praised by the judges at a special prizegiving event at W5 this afternoon and she received a special goodie bag with a £25 book token and a copy of 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' after reading her poem for the invited guests. She was supported there by fellow entrants Aliyah, Rhys and Pierce. Well done Courtenay
