10 year 9 pupils from woodchurch took part in this activity day at the discovery clc on 7th july 08. pupils were involved in three activities: a robot challenge, self-righting buoys and renewable energy driven cars. we came away with 2 trophies won in the robot challenge activity by lisa hill and jenny noonan. pupils were up against stiff competition from 5 other wirral schools; oldershaw, upton hall, birkenhead, south wirral and wirral grammar school for girls. well done to all who took part. team photo below.
