TWO teams from Kilkhampton Junior and Infant School have won a place in the final ten in a national computer coding competition.

The children had to write code to produce two minutes of space-themed music.

Pupils Jack Cottle, Connor Vanstone and Ethan Goodege entered a piece entitled 'Super Space', in which they imagined a moon landing and lunar rovers racing around the moon.

Kimberley Seward and Ellie Ridgeman wrote code for a piece called 'Mars' in which aliens were encountered.

The competition is run by the Raspberry Pi foundation and the finalists have been invited to attend the Raspberry Pi third birthday party in Cambridge later this month, where they will find out who the overall winners are.

They have also won a workshop on coding for the school, which a spokesperson for the school said all the children are very much looking forward to.
