Christmas wishes came true for the pupils at a Cumbrian when elves arrived from the North Pole, bringing gifts and festive cheer ahead of the Christmas holidays.
The magical morning at Kirkbride Primary School, near Wigton, was supported by Fibrus Broadband.
It was full of surprises, including a special video message from Santa, who praised the children for the kindness shown in their letters.
Pupils aged five to seven had each written a letter to Father Christmas, telling him something they had done during the year that made them feel proud.
From helping at home to achievements at school, every child had something special to share.
Santa decided the children’s Christmas wishes should come true and dispatched his elves to Kirkbride to deliver surprises.
A week later, each of the 22 pupils in Years One and Two received a present they had mentioned in their letters.
Their teacher, Megan Marsh, said: “The children came up with a wide range of things that they were proud of, from achievements at school to helping at home.
“We brainstormed together and the children wrote their letters, sharing what they had done and choosing a gift they might like.
“They were so excited to see Santa on the big screen and to have the elves visit.
“A huge thank you to Fibrus for helping to make such a special morning possible.”
Dominic Kearns, CEO of Fibrus, said: “We were delighted to play our part in arranging this festive surprise for the pupils at Kirkbride Primary School.
“The letters they wrote were lovely and really showed how kind and thoughtful the children are.
“It was wonderful to see the joy on their faces, and we were so pleased they enjoyed such a special morning. Merry Christmas to everyone at Kirkbride.”
