Our Prep. children received a surprise visit on Friday – with Rudolph and the other reindeer currently resting up and building up their strength for the busy season ahead, Santa himself popped in to visit the children with two of his lesser well known donkeys. Although, of course, they too played an important part in the Christmas story: after all, as the song told us – “Little donkey, carry Mary safely on her way” – it was these donkeys that carried Mary to Bethlehem! All of our classes got the chance to meet the donkeys before the excitement of a visit with Santa himself! Of course, he was not able to stay for long – he explained just how busy things are at the North Pole at the moment – but it was wonderful of him to pay us a visit. Our children must have been very good this year!
Not everyone was quite as excited to see the donkeys, though…
I loved seeing the donkeys. It was such an amazing treat!
I really enjoyed the Christmas surprises. Meeting the donkeys was great too!
