As part of the newly formed partnership between Leswalt and Portpatrick Primary Schools, children have been taking part in some exciting outdoor learning to find out more about each of the school\u2019s communities.<\/p>\n

Firstly, Leswalt pupils invited Portpatrick School to visit their community.\u00a0 The whole school travelled to Leswalt and spent some time getting to know each other in the classrooms.\u00a0 The pupils then worked in mixed schools teams to solve anagrams.\u00a0 The answers gave a list of items to be found on a Scavenger Hunt in the local wetlands, Aldouran Glen.\u00a0 Despite the torrential rain, spirits were high and pupils completed the Scavenger Hunt in their waterproofs and wellies! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0All pupils were then treated to a tasty warm snack made by the neighbouring Kirkland Tearoom and farm shop as they dried off inside.<\/p>\n

A reciprocal visit was made this week by pupils from Leswalt travelling to Portpatrick.\u00a0 Luckily, the weather was on their side and all pupils were able to visit the local RNLI lifeboat shed.\u00a0 The children were split into mixed school groups and were all given a chance to go onboard the brand new state of the art lifeboat, dress up as lifeboat men and women and watch video\n\t\t
