CHILDREN from a North Yorkshire school have been coining it in - but all for a good cause.
Youngsters from Sowerby Primary were asked to bring pennies to school to donate to the Red Cross - and the coins were then added to a huge cross marked out on the playground.
The entire school - including head teacher, Gary White, also donned red clothes for a Red Crass Day, which included a special assembly where the organisation's work around the world was explained.
''We are still counting the pennies but there must be well over £200 worth,'' said Mr White. ''It was a magnificent effort which the children thoroughly enjoyed.''
