Children from two primary schools went head-to-head in a series of challenges as they battled to win a TV competition.

Pupils at Goldstone Primary School, Hove, were filmed over two days by a camera crew from the Children's BBC TV show X-Change.

They were taking part in the Class Wars slot where schools compete against each other to win a series of challenges.

The children from the school in Laburnum Avenue are competing against pupils from West Blatchington to go through to the next round, where they could take on any primary school in Britain.

Darren Vallier, acting headteacher at Goldstone, said: "The children have had great fun and some of the challenges they have had to do were amazing.

"Messy Lunch involved finding a spider hidden in three plates of food, including beans and mashed potatoes, with just their mouths."

The show is broadcast daily on BBC Digital at 7.30am and 6pm.

The children are looking forward to seeing themselves on TV at some point next week from Monday.
