Sing-a-song-for-Santa
... Yorkshire VC are delighted to be partners in this exciting afternoon where 10 primary schools will be linking up together to perform a Christmas-themed song in front of Santa. Each school performs one song, and if you want to impress why not put on a real show by dressing up, including dance or actions, or even incorporate musical instruments.
Naturally it wouldn’t be Santa without a present, so as well as performing, each school votes for their favourite acts, with the overall winner being crowned the Sing a Song for Santa Winner and earning themselves a special Christmas prize!
