Youngsters at a village school have taken time out from writing their Christmas lists to help others.
Each of the 35 pupils at Burnhope Primary School filled a shoebox with toys for the Operation Christmas Child project, which helps deprived children in Eastern Europe. Deputy headteacher Val Rogers said: "We showed them a video of the parcels being delivered last year and that really spurred the children on to have a go. They really made a big effort."
