Well done to all the Thirds who entered the Historical Association Historical Fiction competition—we enjoyed reading all the fantastic creative stories from Ancient Egypt, to Tudor castles, Victorian grave robbers and the Russian Revolution. Students wrote about an impressive range of subjects this year! The top three have now been selected and sent forward to the national competition – the authors of these entries will be announced after half term, along with some runners up prizes. Well done all!
