Day: December 18, 2015

Leswalt Primary got into the Christmas spirit with a Christmas jumper day on Friday 18th December.

Look at the wonderful array of festive knits that came into school!

Primary 7 at Leswalt continued the long standing tradition of going for a Christmas meal out together.  This year the children went to enjoy the hospitality of the Craignelder Hotel, in Stranraer.  The group enjoyed a delicious 3 course meal in the company of some school staff and Mrs Buchanan, who was the Primary 1 teacher of this year group.  The evening was partly funded by a donation from Leswalt Parent council.  After the last cracker was pulled and all turkey was finished,  the children received a Chrsitmas present – which Mrs Buchanan handed out.  Kathryn Topping wrote a thank you letter to Mr Mc Millan of The Craignelder Hotel, thanking him for the wonderful evening and said “if I was to rate this night on Trip Advisor, I would give it 5 out of 5 stars!”.

Leswalt Primary opened it’s door to Parents and friends of the school this week and had a Christmas Open afternoon.  Everyone was able to make a wide variety of Christmas crafts and artwork with the pupils in classrooms.  The Christmas music was playing, and the glitter was out in force.  The afternoon concluded with a performance by Arden, Kayleigh and Kathryn of  Christmas Carols played on the cornet. The whole school then came together to entertain by singing a variety of Christmas songs to the assembled audience.  Everyone left Leswalt school at 3pm that day, with a real sense of Christmas – and their arms full  of decorations they had made!

All the children enjoyed a turkey dinner in school last week.  With the Christmas music playing in the background they sat down together, with staff to enjoy the traditional Christmas meal with all the trimmings. 

And the verdict – “it was yummy!”
