Pupils at an Aberdeen school are celebrating after being named Scottish champions of the Better Energy School awards.

Hanover Street School's project, Save the Busy Bees, We Need Them, took top spot in the Totally Scientific category.

It was also declared the school with the best project in all categories, making it the Scottish champion for 2017.

The nationwide competition is run by the Young People's Trust for the Environment (YPTE) and raises awareness of the need for sustainable energy sources.

Elizabeth Elrick, a teacher at Hanover Street School, said: "The class has worked very hard on their project on bees.

"They did lots of research, and on learning of the dangers bees face, became very pro-active in helping bees survive.

"The children were very surprised and absolutely over the moon to hear they are regional champions for Scotland. Everyone in school is very proud of their achievement."

Six children from the school will be joining other regional champions from schools in England and Wales next week at the national awards ceremony at London Zoo.
