The playground was transformed into a winter wonderland, and the excitement was contagious from the very first snowflake. Every class joined in the festive fun, taking part in the Turkey Trot to keep our **minds and bodies healthy** while embracing the joy of the season. From energetic runs to laughter-filled snow play, it was a day that truly brought our school community together. But the day wasn’t just about fun – it was about **making a difference**. We are proud to support **Pirate Rob’s Angel Trust fundraising**, helping to bring hope and support to families in need. The generosity and enthusiasm shown by our pupils, staff, and families remind us what the spirit of Christmas is all about. ![](https://st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2.schudio.com/images/news/Image.jpg)![](https://st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2.schudio.com/images/news/Image_(2).jpg)![](https://st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2.schudio.com/images/news/Image_(5).jpg) A huge thank you to Pirate Rob for bringing the magic, and to everyone who participated and donated.
