All for a good cause, the pupils of Leswalt Primary rocked up in cheery red clothes and handed in their donations for our Red Nose Day fun today!<\/p>\n

P1-4 and P5-7 joined together for a Fresh Air Friday with a difference today when they took part in the Great Welly Throw!<\/p>\n

Each primary had their own competition with the winners of Primary 5 (Brandon), Primary 6 (Tristan) and Primary 7 (joint winners Alfie and Murray) chucking the welly again in the final for the play-off! And the winning Easter Egg was presented to… Alfie!<\/p>\n

It was then over to the P1-4 class for their well throwing fun!<\/p>\n

The Primary 1 winner (Bobby), Primary 3 winner (Roman) and Primary 4 winner (Ewan) – our only Primary 2 was absent today – took part in the ‘Wee class play-off’. And their winning egg was presented to… Ewan!<\/p>\n

Alexander then came up with the great idea (!) of the staff having their own competition. But we have no spare prizes, the staff exclaimed. Only to be reminded by pupils that it was all about the taking part that counted. Needless to say, the staff had no argument for that one! Mrs McCallum was crowned Staff Welly-Throwing Champion and she took the honour of presenting the prizes to Alfie and Ewan. A morning of fun and giggles!<\/p>\n

The afternoon brought more fun with the North Rhins’ Got Talent Show! The staff judging panel and pupil audience enjoyed a variety of acts. After some discussion amongst judges, the prizes were awarded as follows:<\/p>\n

1st – Ross Warwick (telling jokes) Kirkcolm<\/p>\n

2nd – Alexander Clark (reciting Scots poem) Leswalt<\/p>\n

3rd – Rory Calvert ( counting to 50 in French) Kirkcolm<\/p>\n

Well deserved boys! A certificate will be presented next week to all those who participated. A huge well done to you all.<\/p>\n

Happy Red Nose Day! Our fundraising total will be announced next week.<\/p>\n
