Book-loving youngsters from a Pembrokeshire school will be sharing their joy of reading with millions of viewers this week.

The pupils from Saundersfoot CP School have been chosen to add their voices to the iconic BBC children’s programme, Blue Peter, as it features its Book Club.

Each month, the show’s presenters showcase a new book and are joined by young readers to talk about it.

The group of Saundersfoot children were filmed at Folly Farm discussing the book Poems Aloud by Joseph Coelho.

Saundersfoot CP School head, Nick Allen said the school is ‘overjoyed’ that the students are to take part in Blue Peter and that the whole Saundersfoot community is looking forward to cheering them on.
