There was fun galore at Prep today as children took part in the annual Santa Fun Run in aid of the Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).
The older children helped their younger peers navigate the holiday hurdles on the fun run course. Starting at an inflatable arch, the children progressed via a snow cannon and an ‘elfie selfie’ station, and negotiated some carol singing and snowball throwing before crossing the finish line. Dressed in their festive finest, it was delightful to see the pupils and helpers getting fully into the festive swing.
Whilst plenty of fun was had, the school community managed to raise a significant amount for the CHSW. Well done to everyone who took part, and a huge thank you to the FTS, staff and parent helpers who made it possible.
Once the race had finished, there was a special treat in the form of Father Christmas, pulled on his sleigh by a Truro School minibus. Having greeted the children, he dashed off to prepare for the big day.
It was a wonderful end to an extremely festive period at Prep. Each of the children will go home today with a special bell to mark the occasion, their hearts full of warm Christmas wishes.
Truro School is part of the Methodist Independent Schools Trust (MIST)
