2012 April Willingham Primary School wins challenge
A creative buzz was in the air as pupils from Year 5 at Willingham Primary School joined students from Cottenham Village College and the other two feeder primary schools — Waterbeach and Cottenham. They were set a series of writing, drama and art challenges on Roald Dahl's classic tale Danny: The Champion of the World. The pupils were invited to make storyboards for a book sequel, act out snippets and write a newspaper story on some of its themes, as well as other challenges. Willingham won the challenge which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who took part. Most of the preparation for the challenge round was done by James Singleterry, Deputy Head at Willingham Primary.
