On Thursday 18th December St Mary's School held their annual Christmas party for the children. There were lots going on. There were musical chairs, statues and corners. The children also enjoyed some karaoke as well. There was a selection of foods and drinks for the children to indulge in and they also had the pleasure of enjoying some ice cream. At the end of the day we had a surprise visitor - Father Christmas came to visit and brought some presents too! The children enjoyed a few hours of relaxation and fun after working so hard throughout the year.
