We visit the 5,000th school to join our great Books For Schools campaign

THESE excited youngsters are counting down to Saturday when they can start collecting our Books For Schools tokens.

They are pupils at Chestnuts Primary in Tottenham, North London, the 5,000th school to join our campaign.

We have teamed up with HarperCollins to give away £12million of books — and tomorrow is the last day that schools can register.

More than a quarter of all primary schools in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have signed up.

Schools must collect 3,500 tokens, which will be printed in The Sun from Saturday, to receive a box of more than 100 books from the Collins Big Cat reading programme.

Chestnuts school librarian Tanya Efthymiou says: “We encourage the children to read for pleasure and they all get to visit our library.
