Santa Fly Past!

We were all excited to see a very special sight in the skies above Hodnet School at lunchtime – Santa was getting a lift with in an RAF helicopter!

 

We could hear the helicopter coming closer to school but had no idea that it was carrying a special visitor until we saw the recognisable red and white suit waving to us from high above

 

Everybody on the playground cheered and waved whilst Santa circled above us. We then gave one final wave as Santa set off for the North Pole to get ready for Christmas Eve!
