Christmas came early for pupils across West Lothian as our Interim Depute Chief Executive, Greg Welsh, brought festive cheer through a special live storytime event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary 3 at Hawkhill Primary School were excited to welcome Greg, for a live reading of “Santa’s Sleigh is on it’s way to Scotland”<\/em>.

The session was joined live by over 1 500 pupils from classrooms across West Lothian, on Microsoft Teams. The excitement continued in the chat, with a discussion of range of snacks left for Santa on Christmas Eve (all traditional treats of mince pies, cookies, milk and carrots for the reindeer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story even ended with an exciting visit from a ‘real life elf’!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was a wonderful way to celebrate the season, connect schools across West Lothian, and share the joy of storytelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
