Too early to forecast a white Christmas – but one Dublin school got creative
Many children are dreaming of a white Christmas this festive season. But St Patrick's Boys National School in Blackrock, south county Dublin, was one step ahead today in making sure their pupils got to see a spot of snow, regardless of the weather forecast. The school's parents' association hired a snow machine and arranged a visit from Santa for the children. Learning support and special education teacher Ronan Ryan, told Independent.ie: "The children were so excited to see Santa and were mesmerised by the snow. "It was great to see such joy on their faces, after such an unusual year. Thanks...
