Today we headed for a jaunt up to the Agnew Monument at the top of the hill – it’s on our school jumpers so we wanted to get a closer look and find out more about it! Initially the rain literally stopped play – so we waited until the skies
Well done to this bunch of super workers! Usually we would have an end of term assembly to celebrate success, but unfortunately Lockdown meant this couldn’t happen. Still, we wanted to give a big ‘high five’ to these fabulous readers and to those who achieved their Gold Star award too. This happy gang of readers were STAR readers within their year group.

No-one knew what it would say when it all came together. Once put together we have a fabulous poem and message to all. Have a watch and you will see our creative, happy children in the glorious
‘Get arty and create a rainbow of hope’ was the challenge set down to the pupils of Leswalt Primary by Mrs Copeland our Art Specialist. Well, neither she, or any of us, were quite prepared for the multitude of colourful rainbow designs which came flooding in.
