Today we held a non-uniform day at Penpol as well as a cake sale at break time. Everyone was so generous and we were even helped by Xanthe and Lily in Year 5 who sold bracelets to help us raise some money to get to America.

This week Molly, Isla and Scarlett had the chance to talk to the news desk at Heart Radio to share their Innovation Project idea and talk about what it means to be going to America. This morning their interview was broadcast as the top news item each hour!

We are a group of nine Year 6 students from Cornwall, UK who are taking part in the FIRST LEGO League for the second and final time with Penpol School.  As Year 6’s we’ll soon be leaving Penpol and going our separate ways to Secondary School.

For two years we’ve been working hard during our lunchtimes to build and code a LEGO Robot as well as creating an innovative jellyfish detecting wristband that lets you know if the jellyfish nearby are safe to swim with or not.  We were thrilled to learn that all our hard work has paid off and that we’ve received a special invitation to represent Great Britain in an International Competition in Massachusetts, USA!

This website will tell you all about our journey so far, as well as sharing some way that you can help support us as we travel across the Atlantic to share our project in America
