The children of King Street Primary School in Spennymoor, County Durham, had great fun with their first ever Readathon, which captured the imagination of them all. They even decided to donate to Readathon the proceeds of their special Fair Trade Day, organised by the school's "R Team" (pictured).
The "R Team" is short for "The Rights Respecting Team", who are putting into place a UNICEF initiative to put children's rights at the heart of school life.
"Congratulations to all the King Street children who read for Readathon and a big thank you to the R Team as well," says Brough Girling, Readathon founder. "Your school library's 'reading boat' looks a great place to curl up with a book!"
King Street Primary School has since gained their Level 1 Rights Respecting School Award from UNICEF - a fabulous achievement.

The students of Huish Episcopi Academy in Langport, Somerset, have hit upon a great way to boost the success of their annual Readathon sponsored read. On Friday 4th November, they'll stage a special Comedy Evening in their school hall. All funds raised will be added to their sponsorship total.
This will be sixth year that the Academy has run a Readathon, which is organised by Ms Burrell, the Librarian. Over the years they have raised over £2,500 for Readathon, which promotes reading for pleasure to children nationwide and makes substantial donations to
CLIC Sargent and Roald Dahl's Marvellous Medical Foundation.
"Congratulations to Huish Episcopi Academy for finding yet another way to put fun into fundraising," says Brough Girling, founder of Readathon. "We wish them every success for their Comedy Evening - and lots of fun with their sponsored read as well!"
Pictured here are the star readers from the Academy's 2010 Readathon.
