Watch out Tiger Woods!
Laura Mc Clymont (Active Schools co-ordinator) recently organised a tri-golf festival for all Primary schools in the local area. Each school had to send 2 pupils to take part in a variety of golf related challenges.
This festival was supported and led by James Erskine PGA professional golfer. The eventual winners were named as Abbie Mc Quillan and Craig Anderson from Leswalt Primary. They worked well through all of the activities and ended up with the most points on the day.
The whole of Leswalt Primary school will now receive one full day of golf tuition with James Erskine, as their prize for their classmates doing so well.
Runners up at National awards in Edinburgh
Leswalt Primary School were recently thrilled to be told they were nominated in the “School of the Year” category in the Bikeability awards organised by Cycle Scotland.
This nomination was in respect of the school and community promoting cycling through participation and subsequently winning “The Big Pedal” National competition. The school was also nominated in relation to the way they embraced the Bikeability cycle training scheme (previously Cycle Proficiency) though parental, community and community warden involvement.
Mrs Sheila Baillie, head teacher and Mrs Fiona Topping (parent volunteer who has helped deliver the Bikeability training scheme) both travelled to Edinburgh to the awards ceremony in November.
Leswalt Primary was amongst 6 schools across the country that were shortlisted and were delighted to be named runner up “School of the year”. The winning school was Lainshaw Primary in Stewarton, Ayrshire.
The photograph shows Jamie and Emma Drennan who both cycled approximately 5 miles to school every day to help their school win “The Big Pedal”. This was a considerable distance over hilly terrain and in all weathers for anyone, but all the more remarkable as Jamie was a Primary 2 pupil at the time.
