Day: March 17, 2023

Pupils and staff rocked up to school today for another fun Friday in aid of Red Nose Day 2023. House Captains Rose and Thomas had been selling official red noses all week and donations were popped into the bucket today as we all wore the things which make us happy!

Red Nose Day is all about raising money to help those in need whilst bringing a smile to everyone’s faces – and we did just that with Leswalt’s Got Talent!

Parents and friends joined us to enjoy a varied entertainment programme; from cheerleading to Scots Poetry; a Tik Tok sketch of acting and singing to little Elsa dancers; a marshmallow and jaffa cake eating competition to singing and musical theatre! Mrs Buchanan and House Captain had the unenviable job of judging – a tough call!

1ST place – Hamish (able assisted by his brother Colin) singing ‘Naughty’ from Matilda the Musical

2nd place – Alexander reciting ‘Address to a Haggis’

3rd place – Keira and Aria-Rose dancing to Let it Go from Disney Frozen

All very worthy winners AND approximately £150 was raised for Red Nose Day through ‘nose sales’, pupils’ non-uniform donations and kind audience members adding to the bucket too!

Thank you all!

     Curling Report by Thomas And Tristan   

At the NWC on Monday the 13th of March there was a big curling competition for all the schools in the Rhins region. We sent two teams – team Leswalt and team Leswalt-Portpatrick. Both teams were in the same section and really enjoyed themselves! It just didn’t go our way on the day as Team Leswalt didn’t do too well, but Team Leswalt-Portpatrick did a bit better! Overall, Team Leswalt came 9th and Team Leswalt-Portpatrick came 8th  

Well done to our buddies at Kirkcolm who came 2nd! Rephad won the competition. Many thanks to Mags Agnew for accompanying us and the coaching. We all enjoyed our day! Curling is Cool!
