A WORCESTER school needs the support of the public to win a national competition.
Perry Wood Primary School has reached the final three in the UK Bananagrams Challenge with the chance to claim a £1,000 prize.
The school has run a Bananagrams club for the past three years. The game helps expand vocabulary and improve spelling, as well as encouraging children to play with words as lettered tiles are used to spell words.
The 1,500 schools who took part in the challenge were invited to enter a competition telling the Bananagrams company what it meant to them with Perry Wood entering a stop motion animation.
The children directed and edited the movie themselves, giving up their lunchtimes during the last week of term.
The overall winner is determined via Facebook voting. The post that receives the most likes will be crowned Top Banana and win the grand prize of £1,000.
The post, which is live until Tuesday April 24, is currently in second place to a school in Bolton.
