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!
