In preparation for the wedding on Tuesday, Jack the bridegroom was blackened at 3pm. He was a very good sport and took it so well. He is hoping to have his best man over for a stag night sleepover this weekend!
The pupils of Leswalt and Portpatrick Primary recently came together to take part in a fun Easter challenge “Mission Possible”. the aim of this challenge was for pupils to work creatively in mixed teams to create a structure to allow their eggy super agent to drive a set distance, float across water and finally survive a drop from great height! Points were awarded for creativity, teamwork and egg survival skills.
Have a look at our photos of the fun – and see if you can spot the happy winners at the end!
Primary 5-7 recently travelled to Carlingwark for 2 days of Outdoor Education fun.
The weather was initially very wet, but it soon dried up and did not stop the children having a lot of fun.
Primary 5, 6 and 7 recently travelled to Newton Stewart cinema to take part in the Galloway Music Festival. They were competing in the Galloway Music Festival, and every single pupil in the class was both singing and playing a musical instrument. After the adjudicator had fed back to all of the schools, Leswalt Primary was delighted as they were announced as winners.
As well as the whole class competing several individuals were participating in the piano and cornet classes.
Leswalt Primary has cycled once again to National success. This week it was announced that we have won the “Big Pedal” competition for the whole of Scotland! The school was also runner up in the whole of the UK, small schools category. This is the 4th year in which the school has been in the awards for this initiative.
At Leswalt Primary we are delighted to achieve success in this National competition. The success of Leswalt Primary was due to the real community effort – from pre school toddlers arriving on trikes to parents cycling over 5 miles to school with their children. It was a real wee team effort. As headteacher I did not have far to cycle to work, so I really appreciate the effort put in by all of my pupils and parents! I am so proud of them all.
