Cracking ideas from youngsters at Penwortham Primary School are being out forward into a nationwide campaign to find the inventors of tomorrow.
The Crookings Lane school is among the first in the UK to work on inventions and ideas for a nationwide competition to encourage innovation among nine to 11-year-olds.
They now stand the chance of winning a preview of the new Wallace and Gromit short film, A Matter of Loaf and Death, at their school.
Cracking Ideas uses lesson plans, a nationwide invention competition, teaching resources and a website to bring innovation into lessons for Key Stage Two as a part of the National Curriculum.
The competition will be judged by Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park, who hails from Walmer Bridge, near Preston.
The Penwortham pupils have been using lesson plans which cover curriculum areas in several subjects including numeracy, literacy and science.
The lessons then led to the pupils coming up with new inventions which have been entered in the Cracking Ideas competition.
