The boys and girls of Leswalt Primary were treated to a wonderful sight at their recent Christmas party. After playing party games and feasting on a huge spread of delicious party food, all the boys and girls from Primary 1-6 headed outside to see if they could catch a glimpse of Santa. With parents, staff and children all singing “Jingle Bells” a magical sight appeared in the dark night. Santa came through the village driving a horse and cart covered in twinkling fairy lights! Santa’s horse even had fairy lights and was wearing antlers on his head.
It was a fantastic spectacle which really made the party all the more special for the children. One little Primary 1 pupil literally got carried away with the proceedings as he clambered aboard with Santa, and left the school waving to his school friends as he trotted off up through the village with the man in red. His classmates were worried that he would head back to the North Pole with Father Christmas, but we are happy to report that he made it back into school the next day!
