Tattie Report – By Aidan and Rose On the Thursday the 12th of May, we planted potatoes with Mrs Richardson. We planted the potato seeds in tyres that used to have flowers in them – reusing and recycling! We needed to make sure that we covered them up in soil. We also watered them so they didn’t dry out. We really enjoyed it and it will be great to help in

It was a day of egg-cellent fun for our last day of term – which just so happened to be April Fool’s Day too. Being at school on April 1st doesn’t happen very often so we made the most of it! Mrs Baillie was on fine form, pranking the pupils not just once but twice! Initially, an email was read out telling them of the unfortunate cancellation of the Easter

Phew! It’s been a busy few days of sport for some Leswalt Primary pupils. Friday saw the Primary football tournament held at the 3G pitch. Our fabulous North Rhins Team were placed 3rd in this mini-league! For a team who rarely gets to play together, this was outstanding! Alexander, Rose, Brandon, Fraser, Murray and Aidan from Leswalt P5-7 joined their Portpatrick and Kirkcolm friends to form the team. Many thanks
Our gardening volunteers were super-keen to complete our bug hotel, or should we say ‘bug mansion’ as it’s so impressive. The children worked hard to gather natural materials and construct the bug hotel ready for residents. They mixed STEM engineering construction with Learning for Sustainability. Not content with just that task, they also got stuck into tidying and weeding, ready for even more gardening challenges to come. Thank you to
