«Breaking News» Children left in tears after being told 'Father Christmas isn't real' by Christian charity worker

Children as young as four were reportedly left in tears after being told Santa was 'made up' during a Christian assembly.

Pupils were then asked to smash up chocolate versions of St Nicholas and his reindeer to hammer home the point.

Parents said their children had come home feeling devastated following the sermon by a children's worker from a Christian charity.

The head teacher of Fleet Wood Lane School in Spalding, Lincolnshire, insisted that the children were not told 'Santa does not exist', but has since apologised and said the school would no longer be working with the group.

The Mary Bass Charity, which seeks to 'further the religious and other charitable work of the Church Of England' in the Lincolnshire district of South Holland, said it was investigating.

It is understood the woman delivering the assembly on Thursday was trying to explain to children that Jesus was the reason behind Christmas, not Santa, who had been 'made up'.

They were asked to demonstrate they understood that there was more to Christmas than sweets and presents by smashing up the chocolate.

Parents said many took this to mean Santa did not exist. One mother, whose youngest child at the school is four years old, said: 'My children said two children were asked to come to the front of the hall and smash chocolate Santas and reindeer with hammers to symbolise they were not what Christmas was all about.

'They were encouraged to do this by the offer that they could take the chocolate home afterwards, and were also told that if they didn't believe in God and Jesus they would go to hell.

'Many of the children took that to mean that Santa was not real. My children were quite upset and we had to reassure them that he was and they would still be getting presents this year.'

The incident took place at Fleet Wood Lane School in Spalding, Lincolnshire (pictured) 

Some parents said they would be refusing to let their children go to any other assemblies delivered by the woman.

Another parent, Rachael Partridge, writing on a school Facebook group, said: 'My daughter came home with a smashed-up chocolate Santa in a bag and explained why. I was really annoyed at this because Christmas time is a magical time for my kids.'

The row comes after children as young as nine at St Cuthbert's Church of England Primary in Darwen, Lancashire, were asked to research whether Santa Claus exists as part of their homework.

Michael Griffin, clerk at the Mary Bass Charity, said: 'We plan to meet to discuss this and take appropriate action when things are clearer.'

Fleet Wood Lane head teacher Rachael Cotton said: 'I have written to parents stating that some of the presentation by the Mary Bass Charity in a school assembly was inappropriate and assured them that we will not be using representatives from this charity again. 

'We have apologised to parents and children and totally sympathise with their concerns.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
