We must say a huge thank you to everyone who set up the grotto from EYFS teachers to the caretaking team with a special thank you to Mr Hughes for his excellent support.
And of course a big thank you to the man himself, Father Christmas, for taking time out of his very busy schedule to visit St George's.

2B - Santa visiting
Today, the children were incredibly lucky to have a visit from Father Christmas!!! The children couldn't believe that Santa had come all the way from the North Pole to visit our school this year. He asked the children lots of questions such as what they would like for Christmas? He even knew some facts about them such as them having a new puppy. We were so lucky to have Santa visit us in our outdoor grotto! I'm sure the class will be so excited to tell you all about it later when they get home! :)
