PUPILS at Charmouth Primary School have been getting into the Christmas spirit with a packed programme of festive fun.

The celebrations kicked off when the school held its annual Christmas bazaar and managed to raise more than £1,700.

Stalls were manned by Charmouth Chocolate Shop, Primary Colours, Alice’s Bear Shop and by artist Peter Bagley.

There were also fun, games and activities for the children to get involved in, including a magical Santa’s grotto and face painting, plus a raffle and tombola.

The children attended school in their own party clothes, and spent the morning meeting the Multi-Story Theatre Company, who has performed their play The Firefly for them.

After the performances, all of the classes from reception to year six took part in a question and answer with the actors, and one of the year four children later told staff “the show was amazing with a really interesting story”.
