It was a sad farewell we said today to our 6 Primary 7s – Andrew, Chloe, Gregor, Jack, Joshua and Luke. But we sent them away with lots of happy memories of their years at Leswalt Primary. My my – did we have a plethora of photos to choose from for their P7 slideshow! Look out for its premier on Youtube as it is well worth a watch! We also
Leswalt & Kircolm Primaries held a combined One Planet Picnic in the fresh air today as part of our last day fun. The theme is ‘Good For You, Good For The Planet‘. This year, we worked very hard on reducing our single use plastic waste and snacking in a more environmentally way.

It was sports fun in the sun today for Leswalt pupils at their new temporary home at Kirkcolm Primary!

This was made possible as we are all operating in a bubble together – with pupils lunching and playing

First, second and third places are awarded for the boys and girls completing the course in the quickest
Mrs Ferguson planned an interesting STEM challenge for her class today as part of their Social Studies topic on the Titanic. The children were given just one resource with which to make a vessel capable of holding an increasing load of coins afloat. The boys and girls were required to measure and cut a tin foil rectangle 13cm by 15cm with which to make their lifeboat – that’s it, nothing
Leswalt Primary had safety input from our local police yesterday. Primary 4-7 pupils learned about how to keep themselves safe online whilst Primary 1 to 4 had a road safety talk in the sunshine.
