HELLO everyone and welcome to the Journal Gang page.

Christmas is coming! The lights have been switched on, the Christmas market opens tonight and I know that lots of you are busy rehearsing for Nativity plays and Christmas carol concerts. Here is a picture of my friends Peppa Pig and George, who have been busy meeting children at Santa’s Christmas Wonderland at Paultons Park.

The park is open for children to step inside the magical festive wonderland where you meet all sorts of wonderful creatures before you see Father Christmas himself and receive a gift.

You can also go on many of the rides including those in Peppa Pig World, and it’s wonderful festive fun. If you are lucky enough to meet Santa or Peppa and George this Christmas then why not send me a picture and I’ll use it on the Gang page.

This week we’ll be finding out how children at Gomeldon Primary School have been helping to lay a path to mark their school’s 100th birthday, and you could win £50 in shopping vouchers for Smyths Toy Superstore, which could be perfect for some extra Christmas treats.

See you next week,

Jill
