OLD and young enjoyed a Christmas party at a Darlington school yesterday. About 150 pensioners joined pupils from Longfield School to enjoy a dinner and entertainment. Last week, students brought in food to make up Christmas hampers.
There was a competition before the party began between school form groups to judge the best hamper.
The aim was for every pensioner to leave the party with a hamper or another prize. Students performed carols and popular songs and staff organised games and quizzes to keep their guests entertained. The event was organised by Pat Tosdevin, head of food technology, with the help of year ten health and social care students. She said: "A large number of pupils have worked extremely hard to make this event a huge success."
