The Primary 1-4 pupils at Leswalt Primary had some recent visitors to school from the local Constabulary. PC Kevin Wyllie the school community policeman paid a visit with his colleagues from the traffic department, Ross Williams and Liza Murdoch. The Police had been invited along to Leswalt to help the pupils who are learning all about “People who help us” as part of their health and well being learning and teaching.
The class had a wide range of interesting questions to ask the panel. Pupils learned about the uniform and equipment carried by the Police in the process of their job before going outside to learn more about the role of traffic police and the Police dogs. The visit certainly enhance the children’s’ learning and left many of the boys and girls thinking that they might like to join the Police force in a few years time.Day: September 13, 2012

Olympic Gold for Leswalt Primary!
The boys and girls of Leswalt Primary concluded their project on the Olympic games with the arrival of a gold medal in school.
Margaret Agnew, a member of the community of Leswalt, won a gold medal in the 2002 Winter Olympic games in Salt Lake City for Curling. She was part of the winning team skipped by Rhona Martin.
Margaret came into school wearing her “Team GB” tracksuit to tell the pupils at Leswalt of her experience and answer some of their questions. She even brought the 3 Olympic mascots from the 2002 games so that pupils could compare with Wenlock and Mandeville (the current Olympic Mascots)
Margaret stayed in school for the whole afternoon and let every pupil hold her medal. Everyone was amazed at just how heavy it really was.
