The excitement for Christmas was tangible as the pupils of Willowbridge School started getting ready for the festive period with a range of fun activities.

There were plenty of smiles as pupils of the Junior 5 Class got crafty, making Santa Claus-themed decorations from paper plates and lollipop sticks.

Getting into the festive spirit, staff and pupils dressed up for the occasion, wearing Santa hats and Christmas jumpers.

Elsewhere in the school, the Junior 9 and 3G pupils began the process of decorating their classroom with sparkly tinsel and baubles, donning elf hats for the Christmas activity.

Meanwhile, the pupils of Class 16W got to work putting up a Christmas tree.

Teamwork made the dream work as the pupils worked together to drape tinsel around the tree, which glistened following the addition of twinkly fairy flights, and wrapped in sparkly tinsel, before they added a range of brightly-coloured baubles and Santa decorations.

Over in the multi-sensory senior class, the pupils were also getting busy, making paper decorations.

As Christmas is just around the corner, Willowbridge School is certainly well-prepared for the festivities ahead.
