A RUGBY star visited a primary school on World Book Day to officially open its new library.
Rugby League Star, Paul Cooke, who plays for Doncaster, went to Middleton on the Wolds Primary School last week, to the delight of pupils and staff.
Mr Woodhouse, executive headteacher at Middleton-on-the-Wolds School, said: “Parents and friends of the school have done a fantastic job in raising money for our library.
“It’s important for our children to see TV stars promoting reading in school. It’s also great to have inspiring sports people in school talking to the children about their achievements.”
Christian Miller, 11, said: “I thought it was great having someone famous in our school. He answered all of our questions really well.
Knowing he ran 182 miles – that’s just wow!”
