YEAR BOOK 2013 - Magazine Cover Competition

This year’s Year Book is calling all NWCS children to help us with the front cover……….

We are going to have a competition and the scholar who wins will have his or her artwork on the cover of the magazine. What we need you to do is to think up a theme, be creative and then do some artwork. It can be of anything. It can be in pencil, crayon, paint or any type of medium, you enjoy being creative in. It can be something you have already done at school or something new you do at home.

We need you to hand it in by the 28th June 2013. Please hand them to Nicky in the office at school that Friday morning.

All artwork will be judged externally.
