King Street School pushes the boat out for Readathon

28 September 2011 at 12:38

King Street's 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.
