Fantastic festive photos as primary school children entertain care home residents with Christmas carols

Residents certainly got into the festive spirit by singing along and even getting up for a dance - rocking around the Christmas tree.

Pupils from Fatfield Academy took their Christmas concert on the road, performing to residents at St George’s Residential Care Home in Harraton along with their teacher Miss Grotz.

Following the show Year 6 pupil Mollie, 10, said: "The thing I most enjoyed was making the residents happy"

Classmate Meghan, 11, said: "It made me feel happy to see everyone enjoying themselves.”

Year 5 pupil Clara added: "I loved seeing everyone smiling and dancing.”

There to witness the performance was headteacher Nicky Dowdle.

Ms Dowdle said: “It was wonderful to see our children bringing so much joy to the residents. Seeing different generations laughing, smiling and singing together was truly special.”

Meanwhile in Grindon pupils from St Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School visited High Grindon House to perform a selection of traditional Christmas carols.

Head of school Alex Steele said: “A huge thank you to our choir, Mr Jake Smithson and Mrs Sarah Briggs, who have put a lot of time into practising some hymns and Christmas carols to sing to the residents and staff at High Grindon House.

“All the children were exceptionally well behaved and we are very proud of them.”
