This morning P2-4 headed outside for some 3D Shape maths. We all got cosied up before we headed outside as it was rather chilly! We were ready to recap our knowledge on cubes, cuboids, spheres and cylinders. We had great fun doing the 3D shape race in teams to sort the everyday objects according to their shape. Check out our photos below! Tomorrow we will be finding out about the
This afternoon, the school nurse Debbie Brown came into chat to P1-4 about lots of ways to keep their bodies healthy. The boys and girls shared with her some of the HWB lessons we have covered about keeping our teeth clean and squeaky clean bodies. The class talked about the power point Nurse Debbie had, which reminded everyone about: keeping hair clean, checking for those pesky head lice, washing hands properly
What a lovely and bright February morning! Just perfect for us to get out and about shape hunting. We have been looking at 2D shapes, their properties and tiling in class, so we headed out into the playground to find some shapes. There were loads! We used a tally chart and worked in pairs. Rectangles were the most common, followed by squares, circles and triangles. Mrs Ferguson set us a challenge
Today we welcomed two teachers who teach in North East France. They have come to Scotland to see how we learn French. We learnt lots from them as they told us about a day at their school in France and also gave us some tips on pronunciation too! It was Gregor’s birthday today so we even sang Happy Birthday in French too! Joyeux Anniversaire Gregor!
What a fabulous display of tartan was on show at Leswalt Primary today. From kilts to leggings, hair bobbles to tartan tammies; the children turned out in style for this Scottish tradition. The staff and pupils celebrated the birth of Scotland’s national bard with a programme packed full of songs, poetry and feasting. Malcolm McGregor of P1 took on the role of carrying in the haggis, managing not to nibble
Well we’ve kept to our New Year Resolution! The pupils and staff of Leswalt Primary have headed out for their morning walk the last two days. Heading out just after break, we set off through the park and completed the loop around by the Wetlands and back to school. We even managed to beat our time today! It’s a chance to exercise those legs, get the heart pumping, enjoy a
Yay! P2-4 got to go outside for their Maths session today! The pupils were split into teams; the Red Nosed Reindeers, the Blue Frosty Snowmen and the Cheeky Green Elves! Using what they have been working on in class, the teams were set multiplication tasks. They needed to use their Rainbow Tables, investigate square numbers and tackle some Merry Mental Maths problem solving! Back in class, the pupils had some
What great fun Primary 1-4 have had with their 6 week block of African drumming in school led by Paul. Traditional chants, beats and dances from Ghana formed the basis of the sessions. To round the block of work off, they told the story of some animals in Africa and showed off their chanting and dancing skills – Luke, Cameron, Charlotte and Aidan played the acting roles of the tortoise,
P1-4 are having a great time every Tuesday with some rhythmic drumming input. Ably led by Paul, who uses story-telling to inspire the drumming, the children are learning about animal fables as well as getting creative with their drumming. Everyone is really enjoying this – including the teachers!
Leswalt Primary held their own minutes silence at 11am on Wednesday 11th November at the war memorial at the village. Jamie and Kathryn read aloud their pieces of writing which they had completed in class about Remembrance Day. Mrs Ferguson read through the inscription on the monument and laid the poppies made by pupils from P1-4. Some pupils chose to leave their poppies at the memorial as a sign of
