Made up of talented **Year 5 and Year 6 pupils**, the team has been awarded the prestigious **Core Values Award** at the *First Lego League Unearthed competition*, held in partnership with **Nissan**. ## ![St Charles Lego Legends](https://stcharles.bhcet.org.uk/images/news/649769850_1426235849291494_2935292581652620007_n.jpg)Celebrating Hard Work, Dedication and Team Spirit Our strong team of eight dedicated pupils devoted countless lunchtimes and hours after school to prepare for this exciting STEM challenge. Their mission? To **research, plan, build, code and compete** in a demanding one‑day robotics and innovation competition. This year’s theme was centred around an **archaeology problem**, requiring pupils to tackle a series of build mission challenges using **LEGO** and computer‑aided programming. And what a mission it was! ## Three Rounds, One Goal: Earn the Highest Score Across the competition, the St Charles Lego Legends competed in **three rounds of 2.5‑minute robot challenges**, working strategically to earn as many points as possible. But the competition didn’t stop there. The team also had to: - Deliver a detailed **presentation** about the challenges they faced - Explain **how they solved problems** throughout the project - Demonstrate exceptional **teamwork** - Show how they embedded the competition’s **six core values** into every stage of their work Judges praised the St Charles team for promoting these values consistently—not only during the competition day but throughout all their planning and preparation. ## A Well‑Deserved Award We are delighted that our pupils’ hard work, creativity, resilience and teamwork have been recognised with the **Core Values Award**. This achievement reflects their outstanding attitude, determination and enthusiasm for learning. **Well done to the whole St Charles Lego Legends team!** **![St Charles Lego Legends](https://stcharles.bhcet.org.uk/images/news/650228142_1426235725958173_129484572018845271_n.jpg)![St Charles Lego Legends](https://stcharles.bhcet.org.uk/images/news/651218356_1426235735958172_2168729345842320345_n.jpg)** [Enrichment](https://stcharles.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [ A Fun‑Filled Silent Disco Day at St Charles Catholic Primary School, Spennymoor](https://stcharles.bhcet.org.uk/news/2026-02-25-a-fun-filled-silent-disco-day-at-st-charles-catholic-primary-school-spennymoor) [St Charles Smashes the CAFOD Big Lent Walk Challenge! ](https://stcharles.bhcet.org.uk/news/2026-03-23-st-charles-smashes-the-cafod-big-lent-walk-challenge) ![St Charles Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-charles-catholic-primary-school-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Charles Catholic Primary School Durham Road Spennymoor County Durham DL16 6SL 01388 814285 - [Online Payments](https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Remote Access](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stcharlesrcvaprimary/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stcharles_spennymoor/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Charles Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stcharles.bhcet.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
