Christmas in a Day
Exton has a tradition of 'Christmas in a Day' - held on the penultimate day of term. On this day, learning is put on hold, and we enjoy a day of festive fun and frivolities.
The day starts with a walk up to the Church for our Christmas Service. This is led by Teal class, who tell the story of the nativity, and create a tableau, interspersed by carols and Christmas songs sung by all. This year the retelling was loud and clear, and the singing enthusiastic. We even managed to get the parents to sing the third part in 'The Holly and the Ivy' at the end! It was lovely to be joined by so many parents and members of the local community.
After the walk back to school, there were Christmas activities in the classrooms, before we all joined together in the hall for our Christmas lunch, wonderfully cooked by Lizzie.
In the afternoon, we had our Christmas disco, led by Disco Steve - and then had a visit from Santa, who took time out of his busy schedule to visit us here in school and share presents with us all.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the day. A good time was had by all!
