UN Art Competition Winners


Recently, the UN asked our pupils to draw pictures with a Road Safety theme. The 5 best pictures will be made into road signs which will be displayed in the UNPA to encourage better standards of driving and road safety.
There were many entries of a very high standard. However, only five prizes could be awarded and we are delighted to announce that prizes were awarded to the following pupils:

1st - Sila (Year 4)
2nd - Liza (Year 6)
Runners Up - Michael (Year 1), Tamsin (Year 6) and Laura (Year 6)

Congratulations to the prizewinners and also to the other pupils who took part. We look forward to seeing the finished road signs and hope that they convey the Road Safety message to the wider community.
