YOUNGSTERS at a York primary school were given a special panto Christmas present this year. Children from Carr Junior School in Acomb were treated to a performance of York Theatre Royal’s Travelling Pantomime on Wednesday. As part of the theatre’s plan to bring their pantomime to every part of the city, Carr Junior was chosen as the venue for the Acomb ward, with an evening performance for the community and the school also hosted a special show during the afternoon especially for the children. The school is separated into Covid-secure year group bubbles, so head teacher Vicki Kerr drew one lucky year group - Year 6 - out of a Santa hat to watch the show live in the school hall, while the other years watched virtually from their classrooms.
