Bryn Awel Primary School pupils win national competition
The Primary Engineer competition saw more than 70,000 entries from across the UK.
Five pupils from Bryn Awel Primary School were highly commended for their innovative designs, while four young inventors won the competition, each receiving a trophy.
The winners were celebrated at an event at the University of Wales, attended by children, parents, and staff.
In the reception class, five-year-olds Navara and Regan were recognised for their Colour Changing Watch Strap and Be Brave Buddy, respectively.
In Year 1, six-year-old Dylan impressed with his Medic Bot, and Laia, also six, won with her Multi-Tool Hair Styler.
The highly commended pupils were Reception class pupils Keegan, Ayda, and Rowan, and Year 1 pupils Ariana and Annie.
This achievement reflects the strength of Bryn Awel Primary School's engineering curriculum.
The competition required pupils to design a creative invention, submit an annotated sketch, and write a letter to the judging panel explaining their idea.
Judges were reportedly blown away by the quality, originality, and thoughtfulness of the entries from Bryn Awel.
The school is thrilled with the success, which highlights the budding talent of its students.
