Kayla decided to flavour her sausage with turkey, stuffing and apple sauce and her designs were soon turned into a reality as Mr Freeman created actual sausages which her classmates and teachers then got to eat for lunch.
Mr Swan said: “Kayla received 40 of her specially designed sausages and the school got to have her design for lunch.
“The children and staff loved them, they tasted really Christmassy.”

Mr Swan said: “The school council has having a meeting to decide how to spend the money.
“However, it will be used on providing more resources for on the yard and break and lunch times.”
