At school, one of our favourite Christmassy activities is making cards. This year, the boys and girls have been working hard to make Christmas cards for our lovely Leswalt community.🎁 Our fantastic P6 and 7’s elves along with Mrs Kyle went a wee walk through the village this morning delivering cards as a little thank you for all the kindness and generosity we receive from our wee village year-round! 💌❤️
Christmas show ✅ Time to let loose and PARTY!🎉
Our House Captains Rachael and Colin have been working hard with Mrs Adams to plan a very special Christmas Party for everybody and they did exactly that. 😍
This afternoon all the boys and girls got their glad rags on and partied the afternoon away.🕺 We played musical statues and Christmas corners before stopping for some juice, crisps, top-hats and chocolate crispy cakes – kindly made by Mrs Kyle! Afterwards we had time for build the snowman with toilet paper. ⛄Then soon enough, we were ready for a sing of ‘Jingle Bells’ and sure enough a bell ringing could be heard and the door opened to reveal the man in red himself!🎅
Thankfully, every pupil had made the ‘nice’ list and so Santa gave a present to all. After waiting excitedly for everyone to get their gift, the pupils all opened theirs and there were smiles all round! Santa just knows doesn’t he?!Santa also brought a very special delivery to our Primary 7’s – their P7 leavers hoodies, which they’re welcome to wear to school! 😀
A huge thank you to our wonderful House Captains for organising such a fantastic party! 😄
✨Leswalt Primary Present Baubles✨
Let’s set the scene; the lights were dimmed, Christmas tree sparkling, fake beards applied, Mary’s baby bump stuffed… we were all ready for our big performance of ‘Baubles’.
Friends, family and fans from far and wide filled the hall and all the boys and girls waited excitedly back stage for the performance of their lives, and that it was! 🎬🍿
Through their tree-mendous acting and super singing (😏) the boys and girls did an amazing job of weaving the traditional Christmas story into a primary school setting. Mr Potts the school janitor had been hard at work making baubles for the neglected school Christmas tree, each one linking to part of the nativity story!🎄
As always, we are exceptionally proud of all the boys and girls and can’t thank families enough for all the hard work which has clearly been put in at home to make sure everybody was able to say their lines so confidently and clearly. Well done everybody!😍
For more of Leswalt Primary’s fabulous Christmas singing, come along to the Christingle Service in the church on Christmas Eve at 6:30pm (not an ad).
Roll the credits….

This afternoon we welcomed families into school to purchase some of the Christmas crafts we have been working hard on as part of our ‘enterprise’ topic. Primary 1-3 sold some cute sock snowmen, pine cone Christmas trees and tasty Oreo reindeer, which went down a treat!⛄Primary 4-7 sold their pine cleaner Christmas trees and tree decorations.🎄Afterwards we gave a wee sneak preview of some of the songs from our school show to get us all warmed up and ready for tomorrow’s performances.🎤
As always, thank you so much to everybody who managed to come along this afternoon and to those who purchased some of our crafts! There remaining crafts will be taken across to the hall tomorrow and they can be purchased there too! 😀
To finish off the superb afternoon, Leo’s Granny Dawn, very kindly, handed out beautiful personalised mugs and hot chocolates to all of the boys and girls, on behalf of Leswalt community association! How lucky are we?! Thank you very much to Leswalt community for this very generous gesture! 😍

A big well done must go to our confident individuals who took part in the recent Leswalt community Christmas concert.
Nine little people gave up their Friday evening to entertain everyone in Leswalt Memorial hall with their super singing of festive tunes.
Mrs Baillie rewarded all with a merit for being such confident individuals and a sweet treat as thank you for their time.
This little choir will be joined by some more of their friends to perform at the Christingle service in Leswalt Church on Christmas Eve. Look out for them on their next stop on their tour!
A huge congratulations and well done to Rachael Drummond and Olivia Fidler who both managed to secure third place in the Rhins cluster Badminton competition!
Rachael and Olivia have regularly been attending the Active schools club with Alison Murray and have been training up their skills in the sport to smash it in the inter schools championship.
A massive well done to both girls. It is a fab sport and a great opportunity to meet pupils from other schools. Rachael came third in the P7 girls and Olivia came third in the P6 girls .
We are very proud of both of you! 🏸🥉🥉
