Our hopes and prayers for the weather to hold out weren’t quite answered this afternoon – but did that stop us from having fun? Absolutely not! Richard came in to do a session of Outdoor Based Games with the pupils and safe to say – they absolutely loved this! Both primaries played the same game where Richard had hidden some not so natural items amongst the woodland and bushes for
Last Wednesday we had our sharing event with the lovely folk from Children’s Parliament. This was the upper classes opportunity across both schools to demonstrate all the hard work and fantastic ideas they have been coming up with over the course of the school year.

Sergeants Wilson and Donnan visited us this morning to tell us a little more about joining the local Army Cadet Force!

This week, we ventured over the bridge and beyond the pond deep into the woods! Richard had set up ropes to create a tightrope between two trees – don’t panic, we weren’t too far off the ground! There were some interesting strategies used to get from one side to the other! Richard had also set up a tree swing too using ropes and a branch for the seat. It was
What a glorious day for some fun in the sun at Logan Gardens! We jumped on the bus wearing our summer gear, sunglasses and carrying our lunch bags this morning and headed to Port Logan where we met our friends from Kirkcolm!

Look at how happy we all are! HUGE thanks to the Baxter family for their kindness in buying our school a new shed! The previous one was sadly flattened by the storm in January and the Baxters offered to replace this with a new one and a much improved model it is too!

P7 pupils from Kirkcolm and Leswalt headed off for a fun morning of learning at Stranraer Academy today as part of their transition process. 3rd pupils were our guides and met us at the front door to take us to the Dance Studio where we joined Sheuchan P7s for a Stranraer Academy true/false quiz with Mr Hyslop. From there, we enjoyed an Art lesson
