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.
