Some of our pupils made the most of the spring sunshine and had fun snuggling up in their den together – and even had a wee snooze in their little shelter. Look at the fun they had together outdoors!
Our trio partnership football team had their first outing in over 2 years , and despite nicer having trained in school or playing together as a team they came together extremely well. The team of pupils from Kirkcolm, Leswalt and Portpatrick schools had 3 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws. What a result! Well done to all for their enthusiasm and team spirit. The next games are on the 25th
Huge thank you to Michael Hogg Senior Public Affairs Manager at the Royal Mail for following up on his promise of a special delivery for every Leswalt pupil. This was in response to the letters which Malcolm and Breagh wrote requesting a gold postbox for the village to represent Vicky Wright and her team’s Gold medal at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Mr Hogg had replied by saying that this, unfortunately,
So lovely to see the Spring sunshine today – what a change from last week’s storms! We took the opportunity to take our learning outside and take on a STEM challenge at the beach. Buddied up with P1-4, we headed down Fisher’s Lane to the beach looking out for the very welcome signs of Spring. On the beach, we found a starfish and a huge oyster too. Once in small

From February 21st- March 6th is 2022’s Fairtrade Fortnight and so P5-7 Leswalt pupils spent some time finding out more. Working in Talk Partners, the pupils researched the key questions about this topic: What is Fairtrade? When this started? Why it started? Where can Fairtrade products be bought? Who Fairtrade works with? How we can do our bit to help! They used reference materials, website links, a video clip and
As part of our journey towards Rights Respecting Schools Silver status, the children have been discussing all of the rights within the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

This morning’s outdoor maths fun, led by Miss Lammie, was somewhat hampered by the after-effects of the weekend’s stormy weather! Shooting and shining could be the descriptive phrase used. Still, it didn’t dampen the spirits and efforts of P5-7 in their Time Detectives clock faces task! Even if they did need to do most of their task indoors as they ducked from the heavy showers. Miss Lammie shared the session
All at Leswalt Primary could not be prouder of two of our former pupils – Bobby Lammie and Vicky Wright. They have been part of Team GB at the Winter Olympics in Beijing and are returning home with medals – a silver for Bobby and Gold for Vicky! The ladies final started at 1am, and there were many from the community cheering them on in Stranraer at the North West
Whilst the older pupils were spending time outdoors at Lockerbie Manor, the younger pupils got their ‘eco’ hats on to support our local bird population. Everyone pitched in to help make apple bird feeders using foraged sticks and string. It was then time to get outside to hang up the tasty treats for our feathered friends.
