pupils have been recognised for their contribution to a science exhibition.
Youngsters at Sedgefield and Hardwick primary schools made models of robots that were displayed at last month's Science Live event at Netpark, the high-tech business park being created at Sedgefield.
Yesterday, youngsters from the schools visited County Hall in Durham, headquarters of Durham County Council, to collected book vouchers.
Council leader Ken Manton gave each school vouchers worth £50, which can be spent at the council's Mainly Books educational bookshop.
As well as choosing the titles they wanted, the parties from each school were shown around County Hall.
