LITTLE Sophie McGee is hoping to have Christmas all wrapped up.
The ten-year-old and fellow pupils Lucy Smith, Oliver Giles and Katie Gibson are taking a crash course in learning Saami, the language of Lapland.
Sophie took the top prize in the North-East regional finals of a Junior Language Competition and her friends from Holy Trinity Primary, Stockton, were runners up.
If they win the national finals of Euro Talk's sponsored contest, one lucky youngster from the school could be whisked off to Lapland this Christmas to see Santa and his reindeer.
The school won the North-East finals with their knowledge of Greek. They already have a smattering of Spanish.
