A GROUP of school children from Irvine got the very exclusive chance to design Santa Claus a new pair of glasses.
Pupils from primary one, two and three pupils from Lawthorn Primary School took part in a special drawing competition to be in with the chance of winning a range of prizes.
The competition was in conjunction with Specsavers and staff from the Rivergate Shopping Centre store visited the school to reveal the winners.
Primary one pupil, Sophie Duncan, Eilidh Connolly, who is in primary two and primary three pupil, Oscar Pitt, were the lucky winners and were each presented with a new video camera.
Store director Jim Quinn from Irvine’s Specsavers, said he was delighted by all the designs entered.
He added: “We have a great relationship with Lawthorn Primary School and it’s an exciting time of year to get the children involved in a fun competition.
“It’s really important for Santa to have glasses so he can see clearly and find his way around the world on Christmas Eve.
“We have been so impressed with the quality of the entries and it was a really tough decision to pick the best designs.
“We would like to congratulate Sophie, Eilidh and Oscar and hope they enjoy their prizes.” Pictured are Fiona Parker and Laura Cooper from Specsavers presenting prizes to Sophie Duncan and Aimee Donohoe (P1); Eilidh Connelly and Bradley Boyd (P2); Oscar Pitt and Charlotte Ruthven (P3).
