Yesterday, Primary 7’s from Leswalt buddied up with their P7 friends from Kirkcolm for a visit to Stranraer Academy to help them get their bearings and feel prepared for their next step after the summer holidays. Their morning started with a trip to Art with Mrs Thompson, where they designed their own super heroes! How cool!🦸🏼Afterwards, their visited the Home Economics department and made a cheese toastie! 🧀

They enjoyed some lunch in the canteen, where they got to choose from lots of hot and cold options, but pasta king seemed to be super popular among our Primary 7’s! We look forward to our next visit to the Academy in June.
