BRADWORTHY Primary Academy was launched into space with dancing spacemen and robots.

For the event, held on Thursday, March 29, the hall was converted into a spaceship with the aid of miles of plastic sheeting and decorated with pictures of spacemen. It was filled with a collection of amazing robots that the pupils had built with just a little help from mums, dads and grandparents.

There were metal, cardboard and plastic robots. They had all been built from junk materials, but you would be forgiven for thinking they had been built in a 'galactic' supplies factory. Some had flashing lights, some had whirling coloured windmills and several were remote controlled.
