Our new school community police officer, PC Amy McGregor, visited Leswalt Primary on Friday to introduce herself and discuss internet safety with the pupils. First, she visited P1-4 and shared the book ‘Digi Duck.’ This told the story of a duck who shared a mean picture of his friend, the pig, online and everyone laughed at the pig. The Wise Owl helps the duck to realise that what he did
Last night, Cara, Colin and Hamish represented Leswalt Primary at the Stranraer and District Burns Club. Such Confident Individuals who did so well! Hamish sang ‘The Lewis Bridal Song’ and was awarded 3rd equal place in the P6/7 singing category. Colin recited ‘The Kirk Moose’ by Lavinia Derwent in the P3-5 Recitation category, and did so with great gusto! Cara performed ‘Address to a Haggis’ by Robert Burns and
Feis Rois are back at Leswalt! We were delighted to welcome back Paul and he brought Becky with him. Paul plays the guitar and Becky plays the harp. We got the chance to listen to both instruments being played and learned the names of the different parts of the instruments. We also tried to get our tongues round the Gaelic word for harp ‘clarsach’, it was tricky. Over the next few weeks
We’ve been very lucky to have Stuart Fisher in school over the last 4 Fridays, delivering tri-golf lessons to each class. This was funded through the ‘Children’s Golf Trust.’ We learned about drivers and irons, and used these the hit the ball a distance. We also learned how to putt. Stuart had lots of fun activities and games set up for us to practise our new skills. Thanks to Stuart
This afternoon, we had the pleasure of welcoming Neve and Niamh to lead us on the first of a block of rugby sessions! We started with some fun warm-up games to get us moving and the heart rates up. Great fun – though admittedly a little on the muddy side! Working in small groups/pairs, the class enjoyed an activity-fuelled hour of exercise. Mrs F tried to pre-empt the inevitable mud-fest
Today was Safer internet Day, so we kicked off proceedings by joining together for an Internet Safety Assembly organised by Google ‘Be Internet Legends”. A big thank you to Mrs McHarg for signing our classes up to the online assembly as we listened and learned about protecting privacy, being informed and not falling for false scams and the importance of keeping passwords private! Now they know the do’s and don’ts
Mrs F left the 5 Primary 5s (Roman, Ben, Rachael, Murray and Colin) an assignment to complete last week whilst P6/7 were away on their Glasgow overnighter! Their mission – to research the Roman army and plan, design and make their own Roman replica shields, helmets and swords! Were they successful? Did they complete their task? They most definitely did! Just look at their blog reports below and the fabulous
WOW! What fun p6 and 7 had in Glasgow! Together with Kirkcolm and Portpatrick our children had a wonderful residential trip – 39 pupils, four members of staff and a lifetime of memories. It was an adventure just getting there with cars, buses and trains transporting us all up to the big city. The children walked across the city before before setting off to the Kings Theatre to enjoy a
P7 pupils, Hamish and Faye, represented Leswalt Primary at the Rotary Lunch at the North West Castle today. They were excellent Responsible Citizens, able to chat politely to all and be superb ambassadors for our school. They enjoyed a very interesting talk from Mr V.

Well done to Ben Gill and Ewan Clark who represented Leswalt Primary at the Rhins K’Nex competition held at Sandhead Primary this morning! The boys were set the challenge of building a go-kart.

Though they didn’t win the engineering task today, we are extremely proud of their efforts and delighted that
