SALISBURY pupils have been sending festive cheer to residents at McCarthy and Stone’s Castle Gate and Monument Place retirement developments.
Reception along with Year 5 and 6 children from St Osmund’s Catholic Primary School created more than 60 handmade cards.
Each individual card included good tidings and festive messages from the pupils.
Nicki Beswarick, of McCarthy and Stone Southern, said: “This year it was important for us to get creative and find new ways of bringing the community together, despite the challenges we’re all facing. The pupils at St Osmund’s Catholic Primary School have gone above and beyond to produce some incredible Christmas cards, which have truly brought some yuletide comfort and festive cheer to homeowners at Castle Gate and Monument Place.”
As a thank you the residents sent a little festive treat to all the children, in the form of chocolate coins.
Headteacher Richard Sanderson added: “All of our pupils really enjoyed making and writing their cards. It was certainly a great way to get us all into the Christmas spirit and help to foster relationships between the generations. We’d like to thank all of the homeowners at Castle Gate and Monument Place for sending their kind treats for the children. The delivery was a wonderful surprise for the children, and they were absolutely delighted that the homeowners enjoyed their cards.”
