    We're sharing Christmas


    Children at Dean Close Pre-Preparatory School harnessed the festive
    spirit to help orphaned children in eastern Europe. More than 100
    pupils aged between two and seven prepared Christmas boxes full of
    gifts for children in countries like Armenia and Albania.

    With the help of their parents, they decorated shoeboxes with
    wrapping paper and filled them with toys, pens and pencils as well as
    everyday items like soap and toothbrushes.

    Operation Christmas Child is an international charity which sends
    gifts to children in poor countries.

    Headteacher Sue Bennett said: "The pupils have been thinking about
    children who are not as lucky as them and realising how fortunate
    they are that they'll have more than one Christmas present."
