All Hallows Boarders Blog: Christmas creeps in...

T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Well, that's not entirely true! Actually, it's not true at all! We still have, as was advertised in the year 8 girls dorm, 16 days until Christmas, and there were definitely lots of creatures stirring throughout the All Hallow's boarding house! The dorms came alive as the children went all out, magically bringing their Christmas spirit alive by using what they already have to create wonderful winter wonderlands. Festive music filled the halls as the children ran from dorm to dorm, discovering the creative wonders that filled each room. The winners for the best decorated dorm were the year 7's for the boys landing and year 8's for the girls landing. There was an amazingly decorated room, complete with Santa's sleigh and even a naughty child reading under their covers, that won the overall best decorated dorm prize. And that prize went to *drum roll* the year 7 girls! After the winners were announced, the younger children headed into the dining room to decorate some Christmas cupcakes with Mrs Hannah, whilst the year 8 girls began to create some festive table decorations. Hot chocolates followed close behind before it was time to head upstairs to clean up the dorms and jump under the covers for a good nights rest!
