Winners of the competition were Lola, April, Isla and Stefan, who were all presented with science-themed prizes by Alex Evans and Val Martin, sales advisers at the nearby developments.
Katy Hill, class teacher at Lighthorne Heath Primary School, said: “Our children are really motivated by science and this project was a fantastic opportunity for them to learn about sustainability, making community links and to consider how green space can support mental health and well-being.
“We were really impressed by the detail and thought put into all of the children's designs. Thank you to Barratt and David Wilson Homes for supporting this project.”
