So, on Friday the museum opened it’s doors to the rest of the school.

Leswalt Primary staff and pupils decided to take advantage of the glorious, long awaited Spring weather to take their “daily mile” walk to Aldouran Wetlands.

As they are learning all about their body, P1-4 decided to test out their lung capacity by seeing how much air they could get into a balloon (in one big puff!). Have a look at the photos – who was full of hot air?!
As part of their Social studies learning, Primary 5-7 had a go at following instructions to try and make their own gas masks in class. Pupils were soon making suggestions as to how they would like to customise their masks!
