keep you occupied over the half term break.

We had 5 other local schools participate in the event; Stonebridge Primary, Brentfield Primary, Leopold Primary, oakington Primary and

Gladstone Park Primary. Two teams of 5 were entered from each school. There were 3 challenges for the children to take part in: a logic

ing awarded 3rd place.
