What a fabulous start to our long awaited Lockerbie Manor residential trip!

The children arrived at school excited and eager for it all to begin. Everyone has settled in together so quickly and are having an absolute ball.

Day 1’s itinerary was:

• Rifle shooting
• Archery
• Climbing
• Obstacle
• Abseiling

Check out the photographs to see the super active, fun-packed time your wee toots are having:

Dumfries and Galloway Council have just published their COP26 DG School Report on Learning for Sustainability which showcases learning activities that took place during COP26 across the region.  Our North Rhins Partnership is featured.  Why not have a read and see how our environmentally responsible children engaged with this event.

All of Leswalt Primary are sending Good luck wishes to Team GB who are currently en route to the Winter Olympics in Beijing.  We would like to especially send our good wished to two of our former pupils who are off to represent their country (and wee school!)

Bobby Lammie and Vicky Wright are former pupils of our wee school who are both in the Curling Team.

Last week we filmed a wee secret video which was shared with them on the plane to China as a surprise.  Vicky has already messaged Mrs Baillie from the plane to China to say her and Bobby loved it!
