School play gets airtime<br />

LEESTON Consolidated School<br />

pupils have let their creative<br />

juices flow writing an original<br />

play.<br />

After a couple of sessions with<br />

the School For Young Writers<br />

the pupils spent five hours<br />

rehearsing their play which was<br />

aired on Plains FM recently.<br />

How World War 3 Happened<br />

Because of a Paper Clip tells the<br />

story of a girl called Gabby, the<br />

daughter of the prime minister<br />

who reveals top secret information<br />

during a speech competition.<br />

The speech, which was livestreamed,<br />

did not end well<br />

because the information would<br />

have been misinterpreted by the<br />

audience in Japan.<br />

Gabby and her friends have<br />

to stop the information from<br />

reaching Japan to prevent World<br />

War 3.<br />

SPRINGSTON SCHOOL has<br />

been recognised for a clever<br />

video they created about saving<br />

eels.<br />

Two pupils from the school<br />

won the overall trophy for the<br />

Lincoln Envirotown’s <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Environmental Video Awards<br />

The award called the Kea<br />

Trophy <strong>2017</strong> was presented to<br />

the pupils by Deputy Mayor<br />

Malcolm Lyall.<br />

Lincoln Envirotown Trust<br />

chairwoman Dr Sue Jarvis said it<br />

was a simple but effective video<br />

featuring an eel puppet made out<br />

of an old sock.<br />

She said the video clearly<br />

outlined what people can do to<br />

save the eels.<br />

There was stiff competition<br />

from the diverse groups and<br />

individuals that had put their<br />

filmmaking skills into showing<br />

their concerns and actions relating<br />

the environment.<br />

Dr Jarvis said all were winners<br />

on the night as everyone came<br />
