More than 100 children who are moving on to secondary school have received a useful present to mark the important step in their lives.

The Rotary Club of Dagenham handed 107 children at Grafton Primary School in Grafton Road, Dagenham, a Dictionary 4 Life, thanks to a Rotary Club initiative.

Nickie Kenning, retiring president of the club, said: “As the children move on to their further education at new schools, we wish them every possible success.

“We hope that they will find the Dictionary 4 Life a great learning tool.”
