Scots poetry winners 2013

On Friday 25th January 2013 Mrs Jane Sloan had the very difficult task of judging all the Scots poetry handwriting, artwork and recitations at Leswalt Primary.

The pupils had been working very hard on the challenges throughout the month of January as part of the whole school focus on “Scotland” has an inter-disciplinary topic. 

At a special assembly, parents and friends of the school came along to see and hear all the talented individuals.  Pupils were awarded certificates for their effort.  And, all pupils entertained by singing some Scots songs.  The afternoon concluded with the whole school singing “Caledonia”, accompanied by Kyle Anderson on the guitar.

The winners at Leswalt were –

Super Burns Supper 2013

On Tuesday 29th January 2013, Leswalt Primary held its fourth annual Burns Supper.

 
The whole school sat down alongside invited guests, including staff and parents.  Cameron Walker, P7, was a very able and organised chairperson who ensured the proceedings ran smoothly.
 
Jack Rickard, P3, said the ‘Selkirk Grace’ before Mr Andy Ross piped in the haggis.  Iona Rickard, P1, proudly carried the haggis into the company.  The haggis was presented to Ben Cowan, P7, who confidently addressed it with great gusto.  Mr Douglas McClure educated the company about the early life of Robert Burns, in saying ‘The Immortal Memory’.
 
Recitations were also delivered from pupils in primary 1 to primary 7.   Classes also entertained by singing Scots songs.  The senior class sang “The Bonnie Ship the Diamond”, with every pupil playing an instrument to accompany. The younger pupils sang “You cannae shove your Granny off a bus”.
 
Craig Anderson, P5, proposed an amusing toast to the lassies before Abbie Mc Quillan in P5 gave him an appropriate reply.
 
Tommy Kerslake in Primary 5 provided an articulate and amusing toast to Leswalt School
 
The Burns Supper concluded with Erin Topping giving an appreciative vote of thanks. 
 
The company sang ‘Auld Lang Syne’ at the end of a highly successful and entertaining Burns Supper at Leswalt Primary.
