As part of the Harvest festival celebrations pupils traveled to Portpatrick to take part in a harvest service at church there. ย The Rev Carolyn Baker led the service and pupils brought in an astonishing 59kg of food to donate to a local food bank.
Pupils also learned more about the work of Guide dogs for the blind, and a collection of ยฃ85 was also generated for this cause.
On Thursday 2nd October 2014, pupils from both Leswalt and Portpatrick Primary schools travelled to visit the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. ย This excursion was to reinforce learning in the current project of “Local and National Government”. ย While in Edinburgh pupils were given a tour by Alex Ferguson MSP and met the Deputy first minister, Nicola Sturgeon.
The boys and girls of Leswalt Primary have been taking their maths learning outside. ย Have a look at the photographs to see how they were able to learn about time and right angles in the environment.
