Santa Shoebox celebration

This is one of my most favourite days of the year … when Santa Shoebox comes to the school! Each class sang Christmas songs and listened to the Santa Shoebox story while they waited in anticipation for the handing out of the personalised shoeboxes, all beautifully decorated and filled with clothing, toys, sweets, toiletries and games. The older groups were noisy and ecstatic as they ripped open their boxes; the younger groups were very quiet and rather overwhelmed by it all. Dimakatso, the teacher of the oldest group, wants them to put together their own boxes next year to give to those that are even less fortunate!
