This morning began with an unexpected and magical surprise for the entire school. As pupils assembled on the playground, the gentle sound of sleigh bells echoed through the air, growing louder by the moment. Anticipation built as Father Christmas appeared, arriving in his sleigh to delighted cheers. Joined by one of his cheerful elves, he danced along to the festive music while greeting everyone on the playground. After spreading plenty of Christmas spirit, they waved goodbye and set off once more for Lapland, where preparations for the big day continue.
