Pupils lined up outside the classroom and handed their train tickets in exchange for a bell. Pupils then went on a virtual train ride around the north pole and were encouraged to shake their bells. After the train came to a stop pupils were offered refreshments including hot chocolate and biscuits. After the train ride pupils made some reindeer food then watched the Polar Express as a Christmas treat. See more news Manage Cookie Preferences
