Heritage Team Prize Winners in a National Fungi Competition

Congratulations to the Heritage team who were one of five prize winners in a national fungi competition!

Our Head of Science, Mrs Carter, encouraged pupils across the school to submit a piece of work to the British Mycological Society’s Fungi Connect competition.

There were a range of entries, all on the topic of the ‘Kingdom Fungi’, which included:

• creative writing – fungus-inspired poetry;
• scientific writing – sharing knowledge about fungi and their role in the world;
• artwork – depictions of fungi, through paint, pencil and even cake(!);
• photography – many stunning photos from pupils who went out and about to see what they could discover;
• history – an account of the uses of fungi after WWII.

For their prize, the team won a mushroom growing kit and a £25 book voucher for books relating to mycology!
