Battle Abbey shoebox appeal
Children at Battle Abbey Prep School been thinking of disadvantaged children in other countries who don't know what it is like to receive a Christmas present.
Pupils wrapped up shoe boxes with Christmas paper and filled them with gifts.
Head teacher Judy Clark explained: "We have been involved with this project for several years now and it's wonderful to see the generous response from our very fortunate children.

The 92 boxes were collected and distributed by the Operation Christmas Child charity and Battle Abbey pupils and staff hope they will bring some joy this Christmas to the children of Belarus.
