IT lessons were snow joke when children went head to head in a robotic showdown.

Two teams of pupils at Oakworth Primary School used programmed Lego to make robotic snow ploughs for the school competition.

The teams of ten children, aged between eight and ten, had to see whose snow plough could sweep away the most "snow" --- breakfast cereal -- in a minute.

IT co-ordinator Dave Bendall said: "The children have been really buzzing about it at school and couldn't wait.

"It's part of their IT learning and 20 children have been involved.

"It's been great to see them so enthusiastic about it.

"Teacher Richard Sells has also put a lot of work into the project and we think it's been a real success."
