On Friday the 21st of April, p5-7 went on a service bus to Stranraer Museum. They had planned this trip by themselves using a bus timetable and museum exhibition information poster. Once we got there we went to St John’s Castle first – it was very interesting. Did you know that St John’s Castle was once a house, prison, a World War 2 look out and was also used for storage! After
On Thursday the 30th of March P5-7 went to Green Valley. P5 had to run half of a mile and P6 and 7 had to run a mile. We ran around Green Valley golf course and flags guided us on where to go. It was very tiring but everybody did exceptionally well.
As part of their topic on Easter in RME, P1-4 have been learning all about Easter traditions. They learned the significance of the Easter egg as a symbol of the rock that was rolled away from Jesus’ tomb which was empty as Jesus had risen from the dead! They consolidated learning on symmetry and how both sides must be the ‘mirror image’ of each other! Everyone chose the level of difficulty
What a great day Leswalt Primary had on Red Nose Day (Friday 24th March). Pupils came to school dressed in all manners of fabulously silly outfits; think inside-out, back-to-front, pyjamas, crazy combinations… and you’ll get the idea!

P5-7 have had many great weeks with Feis Rois teaching us how to play the ukulele. Some of us even bought our own instruments!

We sang some Gaelic and African songs and played along to these
On Wednesday, P5-7 headed over to Leswalt Parish Church where they were met by Rev. Claire and two Elders, Geoff and Jean.

On Friday the 24th of February P7 went to the North West Castle accompanied by Karen Anderson. We were there with Kirkcolm Primary and Port William Primary. It was so exhilarating to find out more about curling. We started off learning how to throw the stone, then how to brush the stone, and after that, how to curl the stones. We were taught by John Agnew – he was a good coach and taught us lots. We had
