The boys and girls of Leswalt Primary concluded their project on the Olympic games with the arrival of a gold medal in school.<\/span><\/address>\n
Margaret Agnew, a member of the community of Leswalt, won a gold medal in the 2002 Winter Olympic games in Salt Lake City for Curling.\u00a0 She was part of the winning team skipped by Rhona Martin.\u00a0<\/span><\/address>\n
Margaret came into school wearing her \u201cTeam GB\u201d tracksuit to tell the pupils at Leswalt of her experience and answer some of their questions.\u00a0 She even brought the 3 Olympic mascots from the 2002 games so that pupils could compare with Wenlock and Mandeville (the current Olympic Mascots)<\/span><\/address>\n
Margaret stayed in school for the whole afternoon and let every pupil hold her medal.\u00a0 Everyone was amazed at just how heavy it really was.<\/span><\/address>\n
