Eat and Meet with Santa
Thank you to Miss Helmore who arranged a wonderful breakfast and meet with Santa this morning at the Capelrig, Newton Mearns.
Pupils set off this morning with the wind blowing and walked to the local restaurant, excited to be meeting Santa.
Pupils made choices for breakfast and some brought their own snacks.
Pupils were so excited when they heard the sounds of the bells and finally Santa made an appearance.
Santa visited all the tables and spoke with them all and was even presented with a picture that one of the boys from Class Tiree had coloured in.
A great morning for everyone and not only did we get to meet Santa but we were able to generalise some of the skills we have been working on in school.
Have a look at some of our photographs from a wonderful experience.
