Yesterday, we said a socially distanced fond farewell to our Primary 7 pupils – Auryn, Erin, Finlay and Phoebe. It wasn’t quite the normal end of year ceremony we were expecting, but we couldn’t let them disappear from Leswalt Primary without one last hurrah! The fab 4 popped into school each with a small family bubble to reminisce and celebrate their achievements over the past 7 years. Mrs Ferguson read
Mark and Rachael have been very busy whilst school has been closed! Mrs McKnight had set her task a weekly maths topic based around money. Team Drummond decided the very best way to learn lots about money was by using it in a real-life situation, so they decided to set up a little shop next to the road at their farm. They started selling crisps and rolls to passers-by. I
End of March lockdown begun, That meant schools were closed, so no more fun. Nobody knows how long it will last, But I hope and pray it goes fast. First few mornings were spent with Joe Wicks, Working out and learning new tricks. Four days in, and I am super sore. I think I would rather stay in bed and snore. In the mornings I walk the dog,
Our wee team have very been creative during lockdown and all came together to create our special video. Everyone was given a special word to create a piece of word art at home. No-one knew what it would say when it all came together. Once put together we have a fabulous poem and message to all. Have a watch and you will see our creative, happy children in the glorious
‘Get arty and create a rainbow of hope’ was the challenge set down to the pupils of Leswalt Primary by Mrs Copeland our Art Specialist. Well, neither she, or any of us, were quite prepared for the multitude of colourful rainbow designs which came flooding in.

From skipping games to dominoes, hula hoops to draughts, balance boards to Connect 4 – there were plenty of laughs to be had. I hope these photos make you smile. Hopefully we’ll all be back together soon to plan some more
Here is a handy ‘how to’ guide on how to access your child’s Glow account at home. This gives access to email and shared resources could be uploaded to Microsoft Teams here too. Your child’s Glow login will be in their homework diaries. They have all been checked as working today. Some pupils tried sending emails to one another today, after being reminded about responsible internet use. They seemed to
This morning we welcomed S6 STEM Ambassadors Lily and Emma into our P4-7 classroom. The young ladies delivered four fun Science activities. The first activity was testing our peripheral vision. The boys and girls attached string to a protractor to create an arc with which to rotate an object into our field of view. We were using our rod cells to sense objects. There are fewer rod cells at the
As part of our British Science Week celebrations, the whole school headed out this morning into the glorious spring sunshine to the Aldouran Wetlands. The pupils worked in pairs to find, name and record various woodland mini beasts, aided by an identification key. We also had a peek at the bulbs we planted a few weeks ago to see if they had grown – and we were delighted to see
Our 4 P7 pupils formed a fabulous team for the annual Curling’s Cool Bonspiel held at the North West Castle Hotel in Stranraer. They enjoyed a full and busy day curling, working well as a team and meeting new people who they’ll move up to Stranraer Academy with. Many thanks to Finlay’s mum, Mrs Scott for accompanying them.
