Pupil pens winning poem

Rosie’s winning poem, The Earthworm, will be published in the next book in the Felicity Fly series.

Christina Gabbitas, author of the six rhyming books in the series and mastermind of the competition, said: “We have some very talented children in our primary schools, which we should be shouting about.

“I received lots of fabulously imaginative writing from all corners of the UK; the very best were chosen by a panel of twenty judges and some of the most impressive poems will be published in a special national rhyming poetry book.

“The demand has been so high for the competition in its second year.”
