YOUNGSTERS at a Swindon infants' school put their hands in their pockets to raise money for aid organisation Unicef.

Covingham Park Infant School staged a non-uniform day on Friday and all of its 148 children took part.

The youngsters, aged from four to seven, all wrote a prayer for the organisation focusing on the work that it carries out around the world.

Some of the prayers were read out out in assembly and then they were all tied to a tree in the school grounds.

The children also put together a book of the charity's good works, as well as creating a global blanket containing flags from across the world.

And some of the children dressed in traditional costumes to celebrate the cultures in parts of the world where Unicef works.

The fundraising event, which lasted until 11am, raised £274 for the charity.
