What a fabulous celebration of all things Scottish at Leswalt Primary’s Showcase Assembly! The children had worked very hard throughout the month of January on their Scots poems; writing them out in their most beautiful handwriting, creating pieces of Artwork to accompany their poem and learning their poem in order to recite it with gusto. In addition to recognising every child’s hard work and celebrating and enjoying listening to the
What a busy Burns day we’ve enjoyed! Mr Plant our judge had a packed morning; listening to poem recitations and viewing artwork and handwriting.

On the 21st of January we went to the Rotary Lunch to represent the school. Mrs Smith came with us. Every year, P7s are invited along to join the Monday Rotary Lunch meeting. We had a lovely meal and we also got to listen and talk to Adam Gray. He is the Development Manager for the Scottish Rugby Union. He gave an amazing speech, it was so interesting, and he also gave us Scottish Rugby pin badges. We
What a fabulous way to start bringing our fun-filled term to a close. The whole school journeyed up to the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr to enjoy a fantastic production of the pantomime ‘Aladdin’ – and what a show it was! The Parent Council had very generously organised an ice cream for everyone at the interval – yum yum! Then, after lots of laughing, clapping and singing (Baby Shark!!), the children
What a fabulous afternoon we had at our school Christmas party! Crackers, party poppers, food galore ( a party buffet supplemented with goodies sent in by parents – thanks folks), fun party games, some super cool disco dancing and a visit from a very special man in red all added up to so much fun! The children had a ball! Just take a look at our snaps below!
The boys and girls of P4-7 collected some goodies together to create a Reverse Advent Calendar – a calendar which gives! They donated this to Alison (Jack’s granny) from Apex Scotland so that the tasty treats can be divided up and given to those in need. It’s nice to be nice!
We raised money today by coming to school in our festive knits! All money will be combined with our End of Term Church Service collection and be donated to Save the Children.
Yummy! A delicious Christmas lunch was enjoyed by all today. The P7 girls had worked their elf magic in setting up the tables laden with crackers, with Christmas music to accompany the happy chatter. The staff served the excited children and then sat down to enjoy a lovely lunch together. Look at all of these happy faces!
