Mrs Henry introduced the ideas of chance and uncertainty in real life and why it is important to think about the probability of things happening. For example, Mrs Smith had to wait for a day which she thought it was unlikely to rain so she could take the p1’s into Stranraer for their day of fun. They learned about vocabulary such as likely, unlikely, certain, impossible, sometimes and never. The
With their Tuck Shop earnings in their pocket and the sun shining, Mrs Smith and the Primary 1 boys headed off to Stranraer on the bus yesterday. They all had a blast as you’ll be able to see by the fabulous photographs! Playing in the park, munching sweeties and enjoying ice-cream – a perfect way to start the week!
Many thanks to Karen Anderson for coming in to see P5-7 today and telling us about her job with Alzheimer Scotland. We all found the afternoon really interesting and know much more now about what is meant by dementia, what help is available locally to people who have dementia and their family and friends and ways in which we can help ourselves and others. There simply wasn’t enough time for all
We had hoped for glorious sunshine but made do with a cloudy day with just a few showers for our annual Leswalt Primary Sports Day. Mr Brawls and his band of helpers got all equipment moved over to the village park, the pupils got their sporty togs on and we were go, go, go! The boys and girls enjoyed a fun afternoon of Sports, having their very best shot at
Well this trip destination was a new one to us – but we’ll most definitely be visiting here again in the future! P5-7 from Leswalt joined the staff and boys and girls of Portpatrick Primary for a day out to Dumfries House in Cumnock. Thankfully the weather was in much better fettle than it had been for intended sports day! P5-7 headed to the Morphy Richards STEM Centre – a
On Wednesday the 31st of May, P5-7 went along to Leswalt’s local wetlands at Aldouran. We were looking forward to finding out lots more about wild flowers, plants and trees. We headed up through the woodland paths, listening to the sounds of nature. Here are a few quotes from our class about the wetlands. “You can learn a lot more when you’re not in a class room,” Jamie. “It was
This morning we had the absolute pleasure of enjoying a morning with Rachel and Duncan from Pitch, Pulse and Magic. They both play string instruments – Rachel plays the violin and Duncan plays the cello. The instruments are related – they looked like little and large beside each other! We heard lots of pieces of classical music, some which we recognised and some which were new to us. The music
Look at our little nursery stars who ordered numbers 0-5 using caterpillars today with Mrs Smith. The soon to be P1’s are visiting the school each Wednesday morning for 45 minutes to meet all the boys, girls and staff of Leswalt school.
Ethan headed off to New Galloway Golf Club last Thursday, accompanied by his dad, to represent Leswalt Primary at the Regional Primary Schools’ Golf Competition. He enjoyed a day of glorious sunshine on a stunning golf course. He demonstrated just what a responsible citizen he is by taking part and being a good ambassador for our school. Thanks Ethan! Glad you had a great day too!
P1-4 are curerntly learning how to be journalists and reporters by creating their own newspapers and articles. To help with this learning, Mrs Henry took them all in to the local Free Press Office in Stranraer to meet the production and reporting team and see how a newspaper is created. The staff were fantastic with the children and really got them involved in the process from start to finish … they
