As part of their health and wellbeing learning and teaching, Primary 5-7 have been focussing on “Tobacco” this term.  They have been discussing the legalities surrounding the advertising of tobacco and laws in the sale of tobacco products.

  To help them with their work, they popped across the road to Leswalt Stores.  Gillian was more than happy to explain to the class the laws which are in place.  The children also saw for themselves how products are not allowed to be on display and the signage which is in place.

Many thanks must go to Gillian Murdoch, not only for her useful information and knowledge on the subject, but also for the sweeties which she gave the class as they left!

Primary 5 recently had a lovely time along at Creachmore as part of a golf festival aimed at all Primary 5 pupils.

The sun was shining, as they all learned more about the game and how to improve their golf swing.

The senior class recently went outside to do their maths.  They were learning all about speed, distance and time.  And, to help them with their learning they all went outside and had to run over a specified distance to help them calculate their speed.

The photos show some of p5-7 racing across the playground.

Primary 5-7 had a recent visitor to class who helped develop their Science topic of resources of the Earth, through bringing in a great selection of different rocks for them to examine.

The children learnt a lot about the properties of different rocks, and where they are found.  The afternoon concluded when they got to witness a volcano erupting in their classroom!

All pupils enjoyed a taster session of Pilates, organised by Active schools and delivered by Lorna Mc Kay.

Pupils (and staff) enjoyed bending and stretching in the gym hall and trying to improve their flexibility.

This will be followed up with a further block of fitness/pilates activities for p5-7, next term.

 

Both Leswalt and Portpatrick Primary were offered the opportunity to have a free non-lander cruise aboard the Stena Line Ferry.  It was a calm day for the crossing,  with no sea sickness to report!

The senior pupils at Leswalt have been invited along to Kirkcolm bowling green to enjoy learning more about this sport.  The gentlemen of the club have been very good with the children and they look forward to having another visit next week.

After being rained off on the first attempt, Leswalt Sports day took place on Thursday 18th June.  Although the sun did not make an appearance, it was a fun filled afternoon.  Every child tried their hardest and was very sporting throughout.  The afternoon concluded with Leswalt Stores kindly donating ice cream for all the children

Have a look at the photographs to see how happy we all were!
