March 13, 2025 – Leswalt Primary School

We have had great fun this over the last few days celebrating British Science Week with online Live Lessons, STEM activities and rounding off with a busy open afternoon today!
Family and friends were invited in to share our learning as we worked with our buddies on a range of Science investigations.
We enjoyed…

* Exploding Monsters – exploring chemical reactions

* Lava Lamps- looking at liquid density and mixing

* Coding with Microbits and Spheros

* Digital learning with online Science games

Working together, we spent 10 minutes at each station and before we knew it, the afternoon had whizzed by! Lots of learning and lots of fun

Well done to our musical maestros – Rachael, Ela and Daisy for their fantastic performances this week at the Galloway Music Festival!

Rachael was up first, with her piano performance class being held on Monday. Competing in a very tough class, Miss Drummond only went and bagged first place! What an achievement…

Then, on Wednesday, our two fantastic singers Ela and Daisy participated in the Scots Solo class with both of them singing ‘The Skye Boat Song’. They both sang beautifully with Daisy being awarded 1st and Ela 2nd place. Well done girls and a HUGE thanks to Mrs Jane Sloan who has coached and accompanied the girls over the last few months, popping into school on a weekly basis to work with them. We are very lucky to have her expertise to support our pupils.
