The fun session saw the youngsters donning festive hats for the occasion.
To recognise Advent, everyone attended an enlightening christingle assembly given by the school’s local vicar.
A christingle is a symbolic object used in the Advent services of many Christian denominations.
Christingle means ‘Christ Light’ and is used to celebrate Jesus Christ as the ‘Light of the World’.
