Mrs. McArdle's Primary One Class - Our Magical Christmas Trip to Bellurgan Park
What an unforgettable day we had! The excitement began on the bus journey, filled with laughter and festive cheer. Our first stop was Elf School, where we wrote our special wishes to Santa and hung them on the beautiful Wishing Tree.
Next, we stepped into Mrs. Claus’s kitchen to bake magic cookies—and the best part? We got to decorate them ourselves! After that, we headed outdoors for some creative fun, making Christmas decorations and cards. Everyone loved crafting yule logs for our kitchen tables and preparing reindeer food for Christmas Eve.
The adventure continued at the petting zoo, where we met lots of friendly animals. Some of us even had the chance to feed a horse! Then came a visit to the elves’ bedroom, where we played and giggled on the beds before the most exciting moment—Santa’s arrival! He knew all about us and what was on our lists. We were thrilled to hear that every single one of us was on the Good List! Santa even performed a magic trick and gave each of us a golden coin to spend in the elves’ toy shop. Choosing our own toys was such a treat!
To finish off the day, we enjoyed delicious hot chocolate and tucked into our packed lunches before heading back to school, tired but happy.
What a magical day to remember!
