Knowl Hill Village Association Writing competition

The Knowl Hill Village Association are once again running our annual writing competition for years 1-6. It will look slightly different this year as we all work from home but never fear- Richard Best has created a video for you to launch our story writing topic ‘Under the Sea’ to get you inspired, like his assemblies always do!
