Leswalt Wedding Scramble!

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 rendition of ‘One More Step’ as we waited outside for a first glimpse of the ladies in the gorgeous dresses. Jack wasn’t there as he was with the groom, Ninian. Jack and Iona’s big brother, Dean, was giving his mum away and looked very smart in his kilt. He invited the pupils onto the driveway for the wedding scramble; Karen had organised a £1 coin for every pupil in the school. Much excitement and giggling ensued as everyone scrambled for their coin!

We then waved the bridal party off and headed back towards school. Some of us were just too desperate to spend our money, so Mrs Ferguson took a group along to Leswalt shop to buy some goodies. The rest were saving their cash for home – wise bunch!

Huge thanks to Karen and Ninian for inviting us along for the wedding scramble. We loved being a part of your special day!

‘Together as a Trio’ Day

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 climate hold us back! So we put Plan B  into action.

We had fun singing our end-of-term songs together in the hall, then enjoyed games and fun activities in classrooms with our partnership buddies. A picnic lunch was held in the hall before we all headed off to the shore, braving the blustery wind. Working in teams of mixed ages and mixed schools, we had a fabulous time creating art out of natural objects found on the beach. Lots of creative ideas on show.

Yes, it was a bit wet and very windy. But did we let that dampen our enthusiasm for fun? No way!

Check out our photos below to see what we were up to.

Here’s hoping we reschedule our Beach Clean/Inter-Sports Day for the new session. Fingers crossed for a bit of sun!
