Class Logo Competition 2024: 19th July 2024
Six years ago, we decided to run our first class logo competition. Back then, a different theme for classes was chosen: animals, artists, trees – for example…and then last year happened: in order to raise the profile of reading, we chose authors and – although the school had chosen authors in the past – the impact this time around was huge! This is testament to the school’s drive to promote a love for, and a celebration of reading for pleasure. Whether it be the selection of great books for our curriculum; for story time; advances with our school library; community members getting behind Book Club events; Book Club itself, our children were absorbed in the books they studied that were named after their class (or should it be the other way round?!). Couple this with the fact that Gold class even had a remote encounter with Hannah Gold, with some attending an in-person book signing; Shireen class were sent a private video from the author, Nadia Shireen, it’s no wonder our children were building such affinity with the books they read. Thank you to all the parents that also supported this, many of you purchasing additional books for your child from the author their class was named after – wonderful!
Given the success and impact this has had, we’ve now decided it’s part of our Earith legacy. We want this for our children every year! So every year, we will be authors and we’ve chosen our authors for Academic Year 2024/2025. And we’ve chosen our class logos linked to these authors…
New Class Logo Winners
Inspired characters from the books of Steve Antony, Brendan Wenzel, Kieran Larwood and Onjali Q. Rauf, our children worked extremely hard on their designs and it was extremely tough to choose. However, it gives us great pleasure to announce the winners of next year’s class logos as:
Antony (Year R/1): design courtesy of Jensen
Wenzel (Year 1/2): design courtesy of Oscar
Larwood (Year 3/4): design courtesy of Evelyn
Rauf (Year 5/6): design courtesy of Gordon
The prize for or young artists: seeing their winning logos displayed on our website; classroom doors; in the register; on the Hall displays; on our PowerPoints – essentially, throughout multiple aspects of daily school life. Wonderful!
Kieran Larwood has even been in touch with Mr Newman and just wait for it…Steve Antony is even visiting the school in the New Year!
WOW!
