Following the announcement of the winner of our Junior Expert Writing Competition, we’re thrilled to share the entries from our runners up.

It was such a difficult decision deciding on the winner, as we had so many great entries, which is why we wanted to give some of them a special mention here.

Read the first of our runners up below from the talented Dominic Storey, aged 8 and keep an eye on our blog for the next feature!

Dominic Storey - My holiday in Croatia

My favourite bit of my holiday in Croatia in September 2018 was going cycling and hiking up a big hill. The sea was beautiful when we went swimming in it. When we went sea kayaking, Alex, our guide was in a kayak with me and he kept on steering really close to the rocks – it was exciting and fun!

We had breakfast on another part of the island Sipan. I enjoyed the ice cream and the food we got served.

One day Alex took us on a treasure hunt. We followed a map and we went up a hill and back down the other side. When we got the bottom of the hill, we navigated our way down a path and onto a sandy beach. We found a X made out of twigs and underneath there was a tin and inside there was some sweeties!

At times when we went cycling it was so hard that I had to get off my bike and push it up the hills. I would recommend this holiday to anyone that likes sunshine, yummy food and a bit of a challenge.

I would really like to go to Croatia again because the views everywhere you stood were amazing!

This was at the top of a hill. We cycled a bit of the way and walked the rest.

There were lots of cats on the island. They were very friendly.
