• Tuesday 17 December 2024 Santa school visits We had a very special visitor in school today! SANTA! The children were very, very excited! When he walked through the hall at lunchtime to say there was uproar would be putting it mildly! Santa told all the children that he knew they were on the good list and not to worry if they had done something unkind or naughty, that if they did something kind then it makes all the difference. The children all listened and told Santa they would leave out cookies for him and carrots for the reindeers. They all had a great time! Thank you Santa and see you again next year!!
