A GROUP of youngsters took a break from lessons yesterday when a pop star performed specially for them.
The year seven pupils at Ian Ramsay School, in Stockton, spent some of the afternoon listening to Javine perform three of her songs.
The youngsters received the treat after winning a competition run by local radio station Tfm.
Assistant headteacher Deborah Doherty said: "All the children were very, very excited when they heard they had won the competition.
"It is definitely something out of the norm for them and she has spent time signing autographs and being interviewed by the kids. They have really enjoyed it."
Javine was on TV show Popstars: The Rivals and narrowly missed a place in the winning band Girls Aloud.
