The whole school recently enjoyed the sunshine at Logan Gardens, in conclusion to their “James and the Giant peach”/Minibeasts topic. Pupils were actively involved in creating little “Bug Hotels”, using resources in and around the grounds.
National award winning cyclists!
Staff, pupils and parents at Leswalt Primary were delighted today when it was announced the Leswalt Primary was the winning Scottish school, and 2nd out of 1100 schools in the UK who took part in “The Big Pedal”.
This was the result of 15 days real effort by the whole community – to leave the cars at home and cycle to school.
Congratulations to all!

Inter-school curling bonspeil success!

Cycling activities with Ann Ferguson
Ann Ferguson (Active Schools co-ordinator) came to Leswalt Primary yesterday, and led the p1-4 children through some safety games on bicycle. This linked in with our participation in “The Big Pedal” . Have a look at our photographs.
Cycling in the snow
Leswalt Primary pupils continue to cycle in all weathers – and pupils went that bit extra today by cycling to school in the snow. Many resembled snowmen on bicycles by the time they reached school!
All this effort is to great effect as Leswalt Primary is currently now 2nd place in the National Big Pedal competition. (www.thebigpedal.org.uk)
And once the sun came out this afternoon pupils had some more cycling fun in the form of safety games on bikes, with Ann Ferguson (Active Schools Co-ordinator). Pupils rode around the playground learning more about helmets and safety while cycling. P1-4 even had a slow bicycle race! This helped the children focus on their balance and co-ordination.
Wetlands Bug Hunt
On Monday 14th March 2011, Leswalt Primary pupils got on their bikes and went to Aldouran wetland gardens on a minibeast hunt.
Have a look at our photographs to see what we got up to!
