Excitingly, the pupils of Leswalt Primary were invited along for a wedding scramble last Friday. Jack and Iona’s mum, Karen, had very kindly organised this, even though she had plenty of other things on her planning list for her wedding to Ninian that day! We all headed along to the house just before the wedding car was due to pick up the bride, bridesmaid and beautiful Iona. We treated them to a
Today Portpatrick and Leswalt pupils headed over to Kirkcolm to enjoy a ‘Get Together Day’! Initially the idea was to head to the shore for a Summer Eco Beach Clean in the morning, enjoy some playtime together outside in the sunshine at break and have a Inter-Schools Sporty afternoon, participating in races against one another in the June warmth. But the weather had very different ideas! Still…we’re not ones to let the Scottish
Primary 5-7 have been really busy this term working on their HWB topic about Food Miles and Labelling. They have been using maps, working out distances using scale, calculating portion size and cost, working within a budget and pricing products to ensure a profit is made – all life skills I’m sure you’ll agree! After lots of planning, this morning the pupils set to making their Healthy Snacks to sell
P1-4 , Mrs McKnight, Mrs Smith and Mrs Dinsmore headed off to Largs on Tuesday to enjoy a fun day in the sunshine in Largs! Their first pit-stop was at Vikingar where they saw lots of artefacts and had a chance to dress up as Vikings. The class have really enjoyed learning about this topic this term and loved seeing the Viking rooms set-up at Vikingar! Phoebe, Auryn and Erin
What a treat parents, family, friends and P5-7 enjoyed this afternoon! P1-4 presented their original production of ‘Dr Who and the Vikings’ – a time travelling expedition which showcased all the learning which had taken place in their class this term on this exciting topic. Mrs McKnight scripted this (hidden talents Mrs McK!) in collaboration with the boys and girls. Dr Who (Finlay) was ably assisted by his glamorous assistant
Mrs Henry introduced the ideas of chance and uncertainty in real life and why it is important to think about the probability of things happening. For example, Mrs Smith had to wait for a day which she thought it was unlikely to rain so she could take the p1’s into Stranraer for their day of fun. They learned about vocabulary such as likely, unlikely, certain, impossible, sometimes and never. The
With their Tuck Shop earnings in their pocket and the sun shining, Mrs Smith and the Primary 1 boys headed off to Stranraer on the bus yesterday. They all had a blast as you’ll be able to see by the fabulous photographs! Playing in the park, munching sweeties and enjoying ice-cream – a perfect way to start the week!
The partnership football team of Leswalt /Portpatrick United finished off the Summer season of fun days on winning form. Today they won every game to get through to the final at the Sandhead tournament – against their new trio partnership school of Kirkcolm. It was a very tense final, with Mrs Baillie being very diplomatic on the sidelines and avoiding showing allegiance to any one of her schools. At full
Many thanks to Karen Anderson for coming in to see P5-7 today and telling us about her job with Alzheimer Scotland. We all found the afternoon really interesting and know much more now about what is meant by dementia, what help is available locally to people who have dementia and their family and friends and ways in which we can help ourselves and others. There simply wasn’t enough time for all
