Shinewaves Competition Time
Last week’s competition was to make a tree from recycled materials. Again there were brilliant entries. A special mention
goes to Joshua Bunting for his creative ‘Breakfast Tree’. But, this week’s winner is a team effort by Robert and Emily
Watson, who even recycled their newsletter to make leaves for their tree. Congratulations!
This week’s competition is a photography competition. You are looking for a great close-up photograph of an
insect. For ideas and information take a look at HYPERLINK "http://www.nationalinsectweek.co.uk"
www.nationalinsectweek.co.uk. You will find previous competition winning photographs and ‘fun stuff’ to
do.
Pop your entry in the Shinewaves postbox, or hand in at the office if it is too big, with your name and class on the back
by the morning of Tuesday 28th June.
