Santa surprises everyone in Camphill!

20th Dec 2022

What a day we had in school! Firstly, Mrs McMaster made an announcement - our school teddy bear was missing!!!! Everyone had to help search for the bear but no bear was to be found! 

Mrs McMaster then asked Andy, our Building Supervisor to go out searching for the bear and wanted the boys & girls to go out to the front of the school to also have a look...... the bear still couldn't be found!!! We then decided to sing JINGLE BELLS really loudly hoping the teddy bear, if lost, would hear us!!!! and he did!!!!!!!!!!!! He was with SANTA so Andy, our Building Supervisor helped to bring Teddy back and asked SANTA to come along too!!

Oh we were very very very excited!!

We then came back into school and each class got to visit Santa in his Grotto and everyone received a present from Santa! Thank you! 

After visiting Santa we had a Christmas party in the hall where we danced and played party games and then had some drinks and snacks! 

Have a look at our photos and videos below and in the class pages!
