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.
