The Cornish Pirates Learning Zone are looking to build on the success
of the National Literacy Trusts Reading Champion programme by launching a writing
competition for Cornish school children.
All school children have to
do to be involved is write a report on a match they have watched.
CPLZ
Centre Manager Kevin Jackson is hoping that this programme will be a big success
in engaging Cornish youngsters into writing.
Kevin said "The Press
Pack competition is designed to make writing more interesting and relevant for
kids, and we hope that this scheme will, as the Reading Champion Scheme did. With
the schools being able to bring pre organised trips for free to games, we think
it will be"
To help back this new scheme, the Cornish Pirates are
offering free tickets to school groups that organise a trip to a Cornish Pirates
home game.
For more information on the Press Pack scheme, or to book your
school trip to a Cornish Pirates game please contact Rudi Grenfell on 01736 331961
On
hand to help launch the programme with pupils from Humphry Davy and Mounts Bay
Schools was Cornish Pirates star James Moore
