On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week we said good bye and good luck to our 6 fabulous P7 big people who had their three-day visit to Stranraer Academy. And hello! to 8 lovely little people; our new Primary 1’s!🤩
On Tuesday morning the new P5,6,7’s took on their new role of P1’s buddies and we couldn’t be more proud! They met their P1 in the playground, gave them a quick tour and got them ready at the back door ready for 9 o’clock. The little class had a morning of fun getting to know their teacher Mrs Warwick and playing some fun games and the big class played a game of ‘Capture the Flag’ Maths edition!🚩Afterwards, they had lots of fun playing out in the playground in the sunshine! In the afternoon, we enjoyed an ice pole curtesy of Mrs B!😍
On Wednesday afternoon, we welcomed back 8 cute smiling faces ready for an afternoon of fun as transition continued for everybody. Mrs Warwick and Miss Douglas decided that the weather was far too lovely to stay inside, so an adventure up to the Wetlands it was! 🙂 The big class and little class buddied up into teams of four for a scavenger hunt. They found soft feathers, patterns, built stick towers and most importantly had lots of fun getting to know each other! Afterwards, we had an obligatory play at the park in the sunshine and headed back to school ready for home-time 😄.
Thursday has been the final day of our three-day transition. The big class had a fun morning applying their maths skills; time, money and budgeting to research a honeymoon holiday for Miss Douglas. While the little class had morning of number games.
After break time, P4-7 finished off their hot air balloon art work. Then, it was the new P1’s had all been waiting for… lunch time! On the menu was spaghetti bolognas, BBQ chicken wrap or cheese and egg sandwiches, wraps and baked potatoes, which they all seemed to enjoy!
😄 In the afternoon both classes took advantage of the glorious weather, P4-7 played rounders at the park and P1-3 enjoyed some parachute games.
A huge well done to everybody! We can’t wait to welcome our new P1’s back in August for some more fun!❤️
As part of their social studies topic, China, P4-7 today had a go at making a Chinese ‘fakeaway’. We had a look at some traditional Chinese dishes, chopsticks, and discussed some of the Chinese food we’ve tried at home. 🥢.
Today we had a go at making some vegetable spring rolls and seasoned chips with curry sauce, of course!😋 We chopped some potatoes, grated some vegetables and practised the art of rolling the perfect spring roll. Then popped our chips into the air fryer with some delicious Chinese 5 spice and our spring rolls into the oven to crisp. 20 minutes later, voila! we had some delicious Chinese favourites to try! And enjoy we did- the boys and girls all agreed that the recipe was quick, easy and one they’d love to try again at home. 🤩

We are super proud of our fabulous football team who took part in the Bill Adams Memorial Cup on Friday afternoon at the Stuart Binnie Arena. ⚽🏆The team, made up of boys and girls from Leswalt and Kirkcolm played exceptionally well and managed to win one of their games! Well done to everybody who took part and Miss Agnew, our fantastic football coach!😁Our fantastic footballers all received a medal, kindly donated by Bill’s family. We look forward to handing these out at the end of term Closing Ceremony🏅.
Today was the day, we’d all been waiting for. Mrs Baillie had checked the weather, once, twice, one hundred times hoping for a dry afternoon, and that’s exactly what we got!🤞 With our eggs, spoons, sacks and ropes at the ready, we trooped over the park for our annual sports day!😄
Over the past couple of weeks, we had been heading over to the park for some practice and today the boys and girls were very excited to show off their racing skills to their friends and families. 🏅Our fabulous House Captains, Colin (Lochnaw) and Rachael (Soleburn) had organised for us to take part in a full programme of events; the sprint, skipping, sack, egg and spoon, obstacle and long-distance races and finally the relay.
Our Fabulous P7 House Captains
A big thank you to all the families and supporters who came along this afternoon and created such a lovely atmosphere and to Rachael and Colin our fabulous P7 House Captains for their great organisation and for keeping everything running like clockwork. 🫡And to Gordon from the shop who kindly donated a well needed bottle of water for every pupil and a caramel egg – a perfect sweet surprise to finish a fabulous Friday!🍫
It was so lovely to watch everybody demonstrate such fantastic sportsmanship, encouraging one another and giving everything their best go! The atmosphere was filled with laughter, encouragement, applause and the occasional dramatic finish-line finish! we had some tired legs and smiling faces by the end and plenty of funny tales to tell. Sports day is always a great way to show that winning od always exciting, but it’s the taking part and having fun that makes the afternoon so special and our fabulous Leswalt crew exemplify this amazingly! We are so incredibly proud of everybody and hope they are too!😍
Results to follow next week, and our Sports Champion boy and girl this year to be revealed at the Closing Ceremony.. but for now, enjoy some funny action shots!😅🙂
