However, at approximately 1.20pm, just as playtime was about to end, we heard the sound of jingle bells coming down the back lane - and who should appear but the man himself! The girls all squealed with delight as he entered the playground, and settled himself into a star-spangled grotto - which had also magically and miraculously appeared.  All of the girls had a chance to meet Father Christmas - in small groups - and tell him what they would most like to find in their stockings. It seems that books, cuddly toys and Lego friends are topping the lists this year. Each of the girls also also received an individually wrapped gift. What a treat.  Date Posted: 8 December, 2020 [Share](http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/news-article/father-christmas-pays-a-visit) ## Articles for: Junior ![Katarina makes the top ten - nationally!](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Katarina%201-450-th-jpg.jpeg?width=770&name=Katarina%201-450-th-jpg.jpeg) **Katarina makes the top ten - nationally!** Date Posted: 16 July, 2021 Congratulations to Katarina who made the finals of the UK's national Junior Memory Championship, and finished 8th...
