P1-4 got their inventing hats on this week to design and create a kite as part of a Technology challenge linked to their Weather topic. They had a range of materials to choose from and were encouraged to think about the best shape to make their kite too. Enthusiastically, the pupils got busy in the morning, working individually, to plan and make their creation. The P1 pupils buddied up with an older classmate to make
Kayleigh and Finlay’s names were selected from the hat to represent the P7s of Leswalt Primary at the annual Rotary Lunch in the North West Castle hotel today. They met Greg Drummond, a curler who won a silver medal at the Winter Olympics! They really enjoyed listening to him. Mrs Baillie was so proud that Kayleigh and Finlay were such a delight to take along to the meal. Their behaviour represented the
Wow! What a show Leswalt Primary put on! Entitled ‘It’s Chriistmas!’, it told the Christmas Story through the guise of a chart show presented by some very glamorous hosts, produced by a bossy director and assistant director and featuring all the Nativity favourites. The songs were strangely recognisable, all being based on a well-known tune, and the children acted their hearts out. From heavenly angels to grumpy landlords, rocking shepherds
The P7 pupils enjoyed a delicious meal at Papa Rab’s as part of their Christmas celebrations last Thursday. The five of them looked fabulous as they headed out for a spot of socialising. Judging by their chat last Friday morning, they all had a brilliant time and lots of giggles! Many thanks to the Parent Council for paying towards the bill and to the mums (Gillian, Linda, Kim and Mary)
The whole school enjoyed an afternoon of festive party fun starting with a wonderful buffet in P1-4 classroom. Everyone enjoyed a variety of savoury snacks provided by the school lunches and the Parent Council – then lots of tasty sweet treats provided by the parents of the school. Party games then began in the hall including Musical Arms, Build a Snowman (hilarious!), some social dancing, Christmas Corners and Pass the Parcel.
Well done to the four pupils from Leswalt school who went to the Academy last week to represent their school at a fun Maths Transition challenge. The team consisted of Charlotte Gaw, Euan McCredie, Ethan Smith and Megan McIntyre. The challenge began with an Activity Pack full of Christmas themed maths puzzles and problem solving, as well as a complex cube building challenge and a ‘Tarsia’ hexagon challenge. Following this,
The boys, girls and staff wore their festive knits to school on Friday 15th December for the annual Save the Children ‘Christmas Jumper Day’. Everyone brought along a donation for this very worthwhile charity. Look at all those Christmassy tops! Doesn’t everyone look fabulous?
This team of super bag packers and their adult helpers raised £628.66 in Morrisons on Saturday! I bet the festive food shoppers were delighted to be helped by these cheery faces. What fabulous teamwork! #effective contributors
Erin and Kayleigh offered to read at a Christmas Church service. The girls read their pieces with fluency and confidence, giving up their own time for their community. Well done!
All of Leswalt Primary headed off to Leswalt wetlands today to look for the signs of winter all around us in the local community. Holly bushes, robins, icicles, frost and even a frozen pond were all around us on this crisp wintery walk. It was a good way to blow away the cobwebs on a December afternoon and walk a wee daily mile.
