This Anthology Is a Collection of Winning Entries and Runners-Up In This anthology is a collection of winning entries and runners-up in the inaugural writing competition for children and young adults organised by the Friends of Rock Road Library in late 2016. The theme of the competition was ‘Location as Inspiration’, inviting entries in the form of short stories, poems and plays about a place in Cambridge or the city itself. The competition was divided into two categories: 7 – 11 year olds and 12 – 16 year olds. The judges were local authors Adéle Geras and Julian Sedgwick.

I love going in for competitions, and part of the pleasure is that there are always a few happy weeks when you can dream about being a winner - right up to the announcement of who has actually won! But winning isn't what it's about. It's about trying your hardest to write something that you are pleased with and which says what you wanted it to say. It's about being the best that you can be for yourself. One thing that all competition entrants need to realise is this: judges are only people and people have different tastes. Another person might have chosen other stories, other winners. The brief was to write about Cambridge. I moved to Cambridge in 2010 and I love it here, so it was a particular pleasure to share other people's love of their home town. What impressed me, apart from the high standard of handwriting I came across, was the way the young writers used so many techniques to tell their stories. I was struck by the liveliness and originality of the entries I read and I saw that what every judge always says is actually true! It was hard to choose winners and runners-up and I'm hoping that everyone who finds themselves in the anthology is very proud of their efforts. It's also clear, by the way, that these writers are also readers, and I wish them luck with their reading as well as their writing because reading is the way you learn everything. Enjoy reading and writing and good luck in the next competition. Adèle Geras, Judge 7 – 11 year old category 5 To enter a writing competition - or any competition - is to take a chance with something that is often dear to your heart. I remember, years ago, entering my first poetry competition with a poem I felt was not only singularly good (rare for me!), but also deeply heartfelt and personal. It wasn’t short-listed. And the rejection stayed with me for months. I still keep that experience in mind every time I come to judge other people’s work! But over the years I’ve learnt that it’s better to take a chance on your writing, and share it, rather than keep it to yourself. And all the entries in this competition were right to share... Having lived in or around Cambridge for more than 30 years, it was a delight to be asked to judge the Rock Road Library ‘Location as Inspiration’ writing competition. Like Adèle, I was really impressed by the variety of style, technique and theme that arrived on my desk: short, but punchy poems; long and fantastical narratives; quirky and interesting characters and crisp, raw reality. In every single submission there was something that grabbed me - and that’s all we can hope for as writers, to write from the heart and hope that the thing that made us laugh or cry, or feel terror or elation, has reached the reader. Congratulations to everybody who took part! Julian Sedgwick, Judge 12 – 16 year old category 6 If I’m honest I felt a little nervous launching the ‘Inspiration as Location’ writing competition. Would any young writers take up the gauntlet? Isn’t everyone under the age of twenty glued to a screen? Do budding writers want to tell stories rather than invent internet games? And what if everybody wanted to write about zombies and vampires? I’m very pleased that all those fears were groundless. We received more than 200 entries to the competition, all written with an energy and gusto that demonstrates creativity and storytelling are still very much alive. Entrants responded to the theme in many imaginative ways – whether it was describing Market Square from the point of view of a plum on a stall, or viewing life as a ghost floating around the Cambridge churchyards. Whether the writers were using a place or feature to reflect on a moment or thought, or telling a crime story using the buildings as setting, each entry genuinely offered something original and thought- provoking. Thank you to all those who entered – winners or not. We enjoyed reading every single entry and appreciate the amount of time and energy given to your story or poem. Thank you to the parents and schools who supported their children/pupils/students in this exercise. Some teachers used it as an opportunity to combine the teaching of English and Geography so when a new course appears on the curriculum – Englography – you’ll know where it started! Thank you to the wonderful judges for their careful consideration of entries. I’m so glad they enjoyed it as much as I did. Thank you Rock Road Library for supporting this project. And, finally, thank you Cambridge for being such an inspiring place to live. And there was not a single zombie or vampire. Honest.

He felt sad that he had never got to see Cambridge when it was a proper city, with proper roads and guided busways and a railway that linked it to all the other cities. It was many years since global warming had left the whole of Cambridge underwater, but not the colleges. The colleges were filled with clever and inventive engineers, like he was training to be, who had come up with the perfect way to save them all - by placing them on stilts. Now the centre of Cambridge was nothing but a

More than 160 objects will be on view, including paintings by Titian, Guercino, Rubens, Hals, Van Dyck, Hogarth, Delacroix, Renoir, and Degas, and drawings by Rembrandt, Annibale Carracci, Tiepolo, William Blake, and Puvis de Chavannes. A selection of illuminated manuscripts, ceramics, coins and medals, bronzes, and decorative arts will also be shown. The exhibition, organized by the Fitzwilliam and the National Gallery, will be displayed in the National Gallery's East Building, March 19 through June 18, 1989. The exhibition and its national tour are made possible by Philip Morris Companies Inc. "The Fitzwilliam Museum is perhaps Britain's pre-eminent small museum," said J. Carter Brown, director of the National Gallery of Art. "Like the British Museum, the Fitzwilliam addresses the history of culture in terms of the visual forms it has assumed, but it does so from the highly selective point of view of the collector-connoisseur. Works of art have been added to the museum's collection not only for the art historical information they reveal but for their beauty, excellent quality and rarity." (more) page two ..

  • A Nursery in Residence at the Fitzwilliam
    A NURSERY IN RESIDENCE The Fitzwilliam Museum is the art and antiquities museum of the University of Cambridge. Cambridge University Botanic Garden (CUBG) holds a collection of over 8,000 plant species for teaching and research. Since its foundation, the Garden has also provided a beautiful place for everybody to enjoy and benefit from. Ace Nursery School is in central Cambridge caring for children from 2 1/2 years onwards. It was founded in 1966, and is run as a parent co-operative. The children invited to participate in the study were between their 3rd and 4th birthdays, and were attending the nursery either four or five days per week. Early Years toolkit Years Early SUMMARY In October 2017, nine children from Ace Nursery School spent five consecutive mornings in residence at The Fitzwilliam Museum and Cambridge University Botanic Garden. The residency formed the basis of a multi-disciplinary, practitioner-led research project by a team of museum, garden and nursery practitioners. Groups from this nursery had visited the museum previously for one off sessions, but we hoped that the residency would give us the opportunity to take time to observe and reflect on the encounters between young children, spaces and objects in the collections and to develop a better understanding of what the museum and garden can offer to young learners. Working in close collaboration was a key aspect of our research methodology and pedagogical practice. We are now planning to share and develop good practice within each of our settings and beyond. A typical day during the residency began in the education spaces of the museum or garden, with time to greet each other and an introduction using objects or children’s artworks from the previous day to connect back to previous activities, and to set the scene for the day ahead.

I remember thinking I was very smart at school – until I got to university – when I realised that there were a lot of people much smarter than me! However, after a long career, I’m now immensely proud to be considered one of Britain’s greatest inventors. I returned to live on the Isle of Man 40 years ago after running the highly successful Otter Controls business in Buxton, Derbyshire. Many of the hundreds of patents that I hold are for domestic appliances, thermostats and electrical equipment. Probably my most famous invention is the thermostat controls for the cordless kettle, patented and used throughout the world. It’s been calculated that over two billion of my bi- metal blades – used in thermostats to switch off kettles – have been produced since their invention in the 1970s. Strix, a company I founded, now holds four Queen’s Awards, three for Export and one for Innovation, granted for my 360-degrees cordless kettle connector.
