Bluebell Lane Santa Experience
P1B had a brilliant day at the Bluebell Lane Santa Experience. We listened to stories read by Mrs Claus, met some of Santa’s elves, had hot chocolate and marshmallows, got a ride in Santa’s very special sleigh and we all got a present from Santa. Thanks to Sharon and Padraig for a very memorable experience and we are already looking forward to returning next year!
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas
