It’s been 9 long weeks since we last saw their little faces at school, and we were delighted to see so many happy smiling faces at the door of Leswalt Primary on Monday morning. It was P1-3’s first day back since the New Year – the building has been rather quiet without them! They were all glad to see each other and be back with their friends. We’re super happy
It may have been an odd year, but nonetheless 2020 was a rather successful one for the North Rhins Partnership – we are delighted to announce that we have achieved our Bronze Award for Rights Respecting Schools! This national accreditation is to recognise the work we have done so far and our commitment to learning more about and embedding the UNCRC Rights of the Child in the life and ethos
Lockdown 2021 meant that we could not have our usual in school Scots poetry focus as all learning was taking part at home. But, this did not stop us! Our in inaugural North Rhins inter school Scots poetry competition took place on Friday 29th January and was judged by local Burns enthusiast, Mr Alec Ross. This event took place on Microsoft Teams, where everyone could see the beautiful handwriting and
So we may not be physically in the same building, but does that stop the pupils of Leswalt Primary from taking part in their annual Scots Week Celebration? No chance! The children – with the help of their parents- have been writing out their poems for the handwriting competition and creating their own artistic interpretation of their poem. Massive thanks must go out to all the families who have contributed
And just like that the school year 2020 is over! It has certainly been a roller-coaster – and we have all came out the other side smiling. All the boys and girls left today with Christmas goodie bags to enjoy. Wishing all a very merry Christmas and happy and healthy new year, from everyone at Leswalt Primary!
On a wet and windy last day of term Mrs Claus and her elves (aka Mrs Ferguson and Mrs Baillie and the p5-7 children) went a wander round the village to distribute the Christmas cards all of p1-7 had made in school to some of the elderly residents of Leswalt. Many doors were opened, to delighted faces and the children wished all “Merry Christmas”. It was a lovely way
As part of our Eco Schools work learning about food and being responsible citizens, this Christmas we decided to run a ‘Reverse advent calendar’ – rather than the boys and girls getting a chocolate each day (they weren’t too impressed with this idea initially, I think many wanted the chocolate!!), they were asked to bring in a donation for the local food bank. We spoke all about why it’s good
What a fantastic week we’ve had at Leswalt Primary! The P1-4 class enjoyed their party on Wednesday afternoon, with P5-7’s turn on Thursday afternoon. House Captains Andrew and Gregor had organised a fun-filled afternoon of dancing and games with a quick snack refuel as a mid-afternoon break! They played the ever-popular Snowman game, Christmas Corners, Musical Bells and Reindeer Relay to name just a few. Some fabulous dancing moves were
Normally at this time of year the staff and pupils would be rehearsing getting ready to put on a Christmas show in Leswalt village hall for the community to enjoy. Unfortunately, COVID prevented our usual Christmas concert. However, even a World wide pandemic could not stop the creativity and sense of fun of Leswalt staff and pupils .

Huge thanks to Laura McClymont from Active Schools for popping by Leswalt and delivering Playmakers session 1 out of 2 to Primary 5-7. The pupils discussed ‘what it means to be a good leader’ – offering up keywords such as sportsmanship, including everyone, encouragement, clear instructions and planning organised sessions. Some of the older pupils have worked on some aspects of Playmakers before and are acting as mentors to the
