PUPILS at Buckhurst Hill Community Primary School are to take a break from regular lessons next month to serve up a festive dinner for the area's elderly residents.

The event, at the school in Lower Queen's Road on Monday December 7, will see the youngsters prepare a Christmas meal and present a series of songs and other entertainments.

The annual occasion usually attracts at least 50 residents every year, and places must be booked in advance.

Call the school on 020 8505 7300 for more information.
