A COMMUNITY’S senior citizens enjoyed a homemade feast courtesy of local school children.
Staff and students at The King’s Academy, Coulby Newham, staged an afternoon of tasty treats and entertainment for people living in homes and sheltered housing complexes in the area.
Students prepared all the food for the annual Christmas party held in the academy’s main hall.
Guests took part in a Christmas quiz and were entertained with performances including readings, dance, instrumental pieces, songs by the choir Vocal Motion and a solo by compere and drama teacher Edward Jones.
Visitor Sheila Connolly said: “I come every year. The students can’t do enough for you and the food is marvellous.”
Freda Power added: “We have been coming for six years and the students are so wonderful. We have a lovely time.”
The event was organised by assistant vice principal June Walker and head of food Barbara Wilberforce.
Mrs Walker said: “We love entertaining our guests every year. The academy is at the heart of the local community and we are delighted that so many people join us for such a special celebration.
“The atmosphere is magical and all the students work really hard to make sure everyone has a great time.”
