On Wednesday 25th March the school opened it’s doors to parents and grandparents for an open afternoon. Everyone had the chance to come along and learn alongside their children. Activities on offer included healthy cookery, making electrical circuits, designing wonderful ancient Egyptian jewellery and even dancing along to “Walk like an Egyptian” on Wii dance!It was a fun filled afternoon in which all were able to get into the classrooms , and also have a look at the learning which has taken place.
The whole of Leswalt Primary went outside to try and see if they could catch a glimpse of the Solar Eclipse – but sadly the rather dreich day, meant the sun was hidden from view already – behind clouds! The pupils did experience the phenomenon of it getting noticeably darker – at 9.30am in the morning, as our photographs show.
Primary 4-7 recently enjoyed a visit from “Generation Science”. As part of Science week, pupils all participated in an interactive workshop which focussed on keeping their homes warm and well insulated – and how not to waste energy.
Well done to all the little people of Leswalt Primary who came to schools on bicycles and scooters as part of the National Big Pedal competition. They showed great teamwork, perseverance, and most importantly, road safety. After the final results were calculated we finished up 2nd in the whole of Scotland – a tremendous result!
