Wow what a show! The pupils of Leswalt Primary delighted their afternoon and evening performances on Tuesday 20th<\/sup><\/span> December with their production of \u2018Santa\u2019s on Strike!\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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 \u2013 phew! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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 \u2018aww\u2019 moments made this a show to remember! Check out our photo gallery. The DVD is also on sale in school \u2013 I promise you \u2013 it\u2019s a show worth watching and re-watching!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Merry Christmas to you all and a very Happy New Year!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
