A GROUP of schoolchildren in Colchester have been brushing up on their vocabulary thanks to a generous donation from Rotarians.
Colchester Forum Rotary Club presented all Year 3e pupils at Iceni Academy in Colchester with their own dictionaries.
The club does this every year and Rotarians have also been assisting youngsters with their reading for the past 15 years.

Iceni Academy was also mentioned in a previous Ofsted report in which inspectors from the watchdog praised the school for its “reading attainment”.
Louise Cotter, senior operations manager at Iceni Academy, said: “Forum has been helping us for many years and we are grateful to the club for the time they spend assisting our pupils.”
