Freya’s Winning Rhyme

Freya’s Winning Rhyme

3:11pm Friday 24th May 2013

Freya Murphy, a seven-year-old pupil at Hurlingham School in Putney, has won a national poetry competition which got the thumbs up from Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education. Freya’s winning poem, Creepy Crawlies, is about a cockroach and will be published in the next book in the Felicity Fly series. Christina Gabbitas, author of the six rhyming books in the series and mastermind of the competition, said, “We have some very talented children in our primary schools, which we should be shouting about. I received lots of fabulously imaginative writing from all corners of the UK; the very best were chosen by a panel of fourteen judges and some of the most impressive poems will be published in a special national rhyming poetry book. The demand has been so high for the competition that it will run again next year.”
