Suzanne and Jess form Portreath school travelled to Telford last week to receive a national award from the Youth Sport Trust.

Back in September, the children were introduced to the Lego League and were given the opportunity to apply for a space on the team. Once the team was picked and the kit arrived, the team set off building the missions with Mrs Blight and getting to know each other as a team.
