A MATHEMATICAL challenge posed no problem for junior school youngsters, who have been presented with certificates for their skills.

Children from Woodhouse Close Junior School, Bishop Auckland, were set a mathematics challenge by teacher Lindsay Burnip based on the theme Around the World in 80 Days.

Work on the Aztecs and Egyptian hieroglyphics were included in the test.

The children were divided into teams, with one winning team from the Upper Junior School and another from the Lower Junior School.
