Wow what a show! The pupils of Leswalt Primary delighted their afternoon and evening performances on Tuesday 20th December with their production of ‘Santa’s on Strike!’
The super cast told the story of a disheartened Santa Claus who, having watched too many episodes of Supernanny, is convinced that the children of today are not deserving of Christmas presents. His band of cheery elves, Mrs Claus, the cutest Nativity scene and the Starr, Wiseman, Shepherd and King families, are eventually able to persuade him otherwise. Just in time to get a disgruntled Rudolph harnessed up and prepared to lead the sleigh on Christmas Eve – phew!
The boys and girls worked so hard to bring this all together and what a fabulous job they did! Wonderful singing, acting and lots of laughs and ‘aww’ moments made this a show to remember! Check out our photo gallery. The DVD is also on sale in school – I promise you – it’s a show worth watching and re-watching!
Merry Christmas to you all and a very Happy New Year!

On the 19th of December Leswalt Primary P7s went out to the Craignelder for their dinner, accompanied by Mrs B, Mrs Ferguson and Mrs Baillie. The girls looked very pretty in their finery, and the boys were very dashing. The food was fantastic – a feast fit for a king! We sat at the big round table and enjoyed our first drink courtesy of Jack’s brother. What a kind gesture!
We had a great laugh chatting about all sorts of topics. There was lots of giggling between Mrs B and Jamie – when she tried to pinch his chocolates! We all had a great evening. Merry Christmas to you all!
All the pupils from Leswalt Primary wore Christmas jumpers to school today, to raise money for Save the Children. The collection at the Christmas Church service will also be donated to this charity. Have a look at all the festive tops on display!
Primary 1-6 at Leswalt Primary recently had lots of fun and games at their Christmas party. They also had a fabulous feast of party food – provided by parents before the arrival of a very special visitor in the form of Santa! Thankfully all the boys and girls were on his good list, and all pupils received very generous gifts from Father Christmas.
On Wednesday, the whole school came together with all staff to enjoy a tasty Christmas lunch of turkey and all the trimmings. A great time was had by all and there were many clean plates… especially with regard to the pudding bowl! 🙂 Staff also really enjoyed sitting with the children and having a Christmas blether.
P1-4 have been continuing to learn about basic first aid and emergencies. First, they explored a first aid kit and the contents of these.
This week they learned how to deal with minor cuts and grazes. They watched a video on the St John’s Ambulance website then role played treating the injury. Look at the photos to see our excellent first aiders treating our poor patients! 🙂

Many thanks to all the children, parents and relatives who helped out at the bag pack on Saturday. Everyone was in a festive mood and the boys and girls were great – wishing all the customers a Merry Christmas.
Thanks to the team effort, the grand total of £782.46 was raised in a few hours.
Thank you very much to all involved!
