Arctic creation is a prize winner for a Singleton school

“When they found out they had won they were so excited and it is really good for the school as well.”
The prize for winning the competion means £3,000 will be given to the school towards specialist funding, a visit from explorer and TV presenter Paul Rose and a six month National
Geographic Kids subscription for each child in the class. Theo and Emily will also get their hands on the full range of Lego’s City Arctic Expedition range.
