youngsters Sammy-Joe Crabtree and Melissa Richardson have been rewarded for their jobs as school milk monitors.

The pupils, of Coundon Primary School, near Bishop Auckland, County Durham, have been presented with a certificate and badge by a company which supplies milk to schools.

Jon Thornes, of Cool Milk at School, said: "The position not only gives the child a sense of responsibility, but also helps with numerical and social skills."
