A battle of words took place at the annual Story Sports Competition at the Ipswich library with heats 17-19 November and the finals on 26 November. On the second day of the competition Tivoli tied with Walloon and it came down to a nail biting tie-breaker with Walloon going into the finals. Students were from year six and seven. The Tivoli team was comprised of the same students who competed so well earlier this year in the Readers Cup competition.
Popular author Brian Falkner challenged the teams with a number of writing games, including creating a great first line, imagining the back-story for a character to writing and performing a rap.
The competition was organised by the Ipswich District Teacher-Librarian Network and Ipswich Central Library.
