Mya Hall and Alexandra Stather-Hooper, pupils at Kings Caple Primary Academy, were winners of the Harrison Clark Rickerbys art competition whose theme was ‘a passion for Herefordshire.’

The children drew the pictures in art lessons at school. Mya decided to recreate Hereford Cathedral and told the Ross Gazette: “I love the place where I live!” Alexandra said that she loves Herefordshire because ‘the views and the sunsets are really beautiful’ and she ‘loves the animals’.

The work of three other pupils from the school were selected as ’highly commended.’ Head of School, Sarah Watkins, told the Ross Gazette: “It was a great idea for a competition because it prompted our pupils to think about all the wonderful things Hereford has to offer.”

The prize is a cash donation to a charity of the winner’s choice.See this week’s paper for more stories like this, available in shops and as a Digital Edition now.
