A team of Year 5 children from Clifton Primary school, through their hard work and endeavour qualified by competing locally and nationally to represent the UK in the DI global finals held in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The team along with Ms Fortnum and Mrs Sheldon spent a week in the USA taking part in competitions, meeting people from all around the world, making new friends and most importantly of all having lots of fun!
