But children from Braeburn Primary and Nursery Academy have been particularly lucky this year as they received a special donation from Morrisons.

The local supermarket has visited the school today to bring a bundle of brand new books for the school's library.

The gift comes as a result of a partnership between the Morrisons Foundation and the National Literacy Trust which aims to help children from local communities fall in love with books and reading. As part of this scheme more than 7,300 books have been donated to hundreds of local schools.
