The scene was set…lights twinkling on the decorated trees, cheery children decked out in their Festive knits, crackers laid on the tables, Christmas tunes pumping and the smell of a delicious dinner wafting around the hall! It was time for Christmas Lunch at Leswalt!
What a delicious lunch was enjoyed by everyone. Such a lovely time to all be together. Just look at these smiling faces…
This morning we were delighted to welcome back Owain Evan’s from Scripture Union with the fantastic Christmas Unwrapped presentation! Fun games and a thought-provoking quiz got everyone on their feet and engaged. This covered Christmas traditions and threw up some very interesting answers…
Owain told the class that Jesus’ coming was spoken of over 351 times in the Bible! Each group participated in a chance to work together to share their knowledge of the Christmas Story. They saw examples of a typical 1st Century Hebrew home and heard about some of the ‘prettier ideas’ that the Nativity Story has included over the centuries!
The hands-on activities continued as each group got a sequencing task to work through to some Christmas tunes but it wasn’t quite as straightforward as they might have hoped! It took a bit of figuring out to spot the ‘wild card’ 🤣
The morning continued with a wordsearch including all the key points covered. Super speedy word finding, followed by a video clip re-telling the Nativity dispelling those age-old myths!
The session ended with each pupil getting the chance to create their own commemorative ceramic tile selecting a key message from the Christmas Story – just look at these amazing designs below!

PC Mc Gregor paid a visit to Leswalt Primary today to collect all the donations from the children for their Police Scotland Youth volunteers Christmas appeal.
The boys and girls had brought in lots of items such as shower gel, biscuits, tins of soup, toothpaste and gloves. These items will be made up into mini hampers and distributed amongst elderly people in the community.
The photograph shows the Eco Committee handing over the goodies to PC Mc Gregor. Well done to all at Leswalt Primary for thinking of others at this time of year.
