Red Nose Day!
Generation Science workshop
Pupils in p1-5 enjoyed a Generation Science workshop afternoon on the topic of “Bees”. This input complemented classroom learning on Minibeasts and was a fun, hands on event for all.
Inter-school curling bonspeil success!
Leswalt Primary 7 pupils were the winners of the Wigtownshire schools curling bonspeil competition which was held on the 16th March 2011. Well done team Leswalt!
Cycling activities with Ann Ferguson
Ann Ferguson (Active Schools co-ordinator) came to Leswalt Primary yesterday, and led the p1-4 children through some safety games on bicycle. This linked in with our participation in “The Big Pedal” . Have a look at our photographs.
Cycling in the snow
Leswalt Primary pupils continue to cycle in all weathers – and pupils went that bit extra today by cycling to school in the snow. Many resembled snowmen on bicycles by the time they reached school!
All this effort is to great effect as Leswalt Primary is currently now 2nd place in the National Big Pedal competition. (www.thebigpedal.org.uk)
And once the sun came out this afternoon pupils had some more cycling fun in the form of safety games on bikes, with Ann Ferguson (Active Schools Co-ordinator). Pupils rode around the playground learning more about helmets and safety while cycling. P1-4 even had a slow bicycle race! This helped the children focus on their balance and co-ordination.
Wetlands Bug Hunt
On Monday 14th March 2011, Leswalt Primary pupils got on their bikes and went to Aldouran wetland gardens on a minibeast hunt.
Have a look at our photographs to see what we got up to!
The Big Pedal – Day2
Well done to all of the Leswalt cyclists!
We are now 2nd in the whole of the UK, thanks to parents and siblings joining in with the cycling fun.
Even if it keeps on raining, we need to keep on pedalling!
