HELLO Gang and welcome to the final Gang page of 2013. I hope that you had a lovely Christmas Day – did Santa bring you lots of exciting things? I hope that you all got some wonderful presents and are enjoying playing with all your new toys. Father Christmas swapped his sleigh for a camel when he visited Woodford Valley Primary School to meet the children.

The great man rode on Therese the camel owned by Lady Chichester who lives near the school and the children also got to meet Therese’s new friend Timijan.

They enjoyed learning more about camels and seeing them close up, as well as meeting Santa himself. This week’s Gang page is packed with seasonal news about some of the exciting things you have been doing in the weeks before Christmas.

I wish you all a very happy new year and look forward to seeing you in 2014,

Jill
