Today Portpatrick and Leswalt pupils\u00a0headed over to Kirkcolm to enjoy a ‘Get Together Day’! Initially the idea was to head to the shore for a Summer Eco Beach Clean in the morning, enjoy some playtime together outside in the sunshine at break and have a Inter-Schools Sporty afternoon,\u00a0participating in\u00a0races against one another in the June warmth. But the weather had very different ideas!<\/p>\n
Still…we’re not ones to let the Scottish climate hold us back! So we put Plan B\u00a0 into action.<\/p>\n
We had fun\u00a0singing our end-of-term songs together in the hall, then enjoyed games and fun activities in classrooms with our partnership buddies. A picnic lunch was held in the hall before we all headed off to the shore, braving the blustery wind. Working in teams of mixed ages and mixed schools, we had a fabulous time creating art out of natural objects found on the beach. Lots of creative ideas on show.<\/p>\n
Yes, it was a bit wet and very windy. But did we let that dampen our enthusiasm for fun? No way!<\/p>\n
Check out our photos below to see what we were up to.<\/p>\n
Here’s hoping we reschedule our Beach Clean\/Inter-Sports Day for the new session. Fingers crossed for a bit of sun!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
