A huge big thank you to Allan Jenkins from who delivered a 29 chocolates bars to school today for all the boys and girls at Leswalt to enjoy! These delicious treats were a very kind donation from Stranraer Development Trust and the Millenium Centre and will be given out tomorrow after our school show as a wee treat for everybody’s hard work🍫. I think the lovely big smiley faces show just how grateful and happy we are!😄

A big well done must go to our confident individuals who took part in the recent Leswalt community Christmas concert.
Nine little people gave up their Friday evening to entertain everyone in Leswalt Memorial hall with their super singing of festive tunes.
Mrs Baillie rewarded all with a merit for being such confident individuals and a sweet treat as thank you for their time.
This little choir will be joined by some more of their friends to perform at the Christingle service in Leswalt Church on Christmas Eve. Look out for them on their next stop on their tour!
A huge congratulations and well done to Rachael Drummond and Olivia Fidler who both managed to secure third place in the Rhins cluster Badminton competition!
Rachael and Olivia have regularly been attending the Active schools club with Alison Murray and have been training up their skills in the sport to smash it in the inter schools championship.
A massive well done to both girls. It is a fab sport and a great opportunity to meet pupils from other schools. Rachael came third in the P7 girls and Olivia came third in the P6 girls .
We are very proud of both of you! 🏸🥉🥉
The pupils of Leswalt Primary school have created their own very unique Christmas tree which will be on display in Leswalt village Church for the next two weeks, as part of the Crhistmas tree festival which has invited different groups and people in our community to submit their tree creations.
We do not only have one star on our tree – but lots of stars! 🌟
How fantastic does this tree look?

Today all the Primary 3-5’s were invited to Sheuchan Primary to attend an author event from David C Flanagan as part of the Big DoG Schools tour organised by Wigtown Festival Company and supported by The Foyle Foundation.
David is a Scottish author, raised in Edinburgh and living in Orkney, who made the special trip down to Dumfries and Galloway to introduce himself and his books. He is both an adult and children’s author, best known for his ‘Captain Pete’ series of children’s stories. Today David introduced us to his book ‘Captain Pete and the Undersea Adventure’; a story of Pete and his mouse TM. 🐭 We loved listening to David’s hilarious accents as he read us Chapter 1 of his book.📖🦉
A great session which really got the creative juices flowing – some freshly inspired authors -to-be after today!? Who knows!✏️

Continuing our Book Week celebrations, Primary 1-7 ventured to Stranraer Library this morning for some book related fun. The library staff had planned a book scavenger hunt for us to enjoy with our friends from Kirkcolm. Afterwards we were let loose in the library’s collection, free to explore, wander and choose any book we like to cosy up and enjoy! 📖 📚
We enjoyed our packed lunches then braved the wet and wild walk to the Ryan Centre cinema to watch ‘The Wild Robot,’ a movie about Roz, a shipwrecked robot who ends up stranded on a remote island🤖.
A super way to spend a rainy day! ☔️😁
