Dream Big, Work Hard, Shine Bright!
Today in Primary 3 we learned all about famous Scottish artist – Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We looked at some of his work and discussed the features and colours. Miss Lawson set us a challenge to keep an eye out for his work in the world around us. Some of us already recognised it from pictures in our houses or on other household items such as placemats, mugs, furniture and jewellery!
We worked together in pairs to create our own Charles Rennie Mackintosh design using oil pastels.
Glenboig Primary took part in a Scottish Assembly this afternoon. All the classes performed Scottish songs. Everyone performed fantastically, it was nerve racking taking part but great fun.
By Primary 4/5
Primary 4/5 have been learning about Great Scots in their Scotland topic. They even designed some Charles Rennie Mackintosh inspired artwork. They have created fact files and researched Great Scots such as: Mary Queen of Scots, John Logie Baird, Robert Burns & more!

Primary 1 has become very Scottish as our purposeful play areas have changed. We now have the Thistle Cafe which is open daily serving lots of different types of Scottish foods. The children love role-playing as not only the waiter and chef but also as the customers – it is great fun listening to their conversations! The children have each written a menu and have drawn or painted a thistle.
Our Post Office has now changed to a Tourist Information Office. The children have discussed different places you might wish to visit and have made little information leaflets. We have practised our “telephone voice” for answering the phone “Good Morning, Glenboig Tourist Information, How may I help you?”
Watch out Mrs Thomson – my class might be applying for your job!
Our information leaflets – why not think about visiting one of Scotland’s lochs, or castles we also have some great museums and parks and don’t forget about Edinburgh Zoo or Blair Drummond Safari Park.
Here are some of our menus – there are lots of lovely things on offer from salmon and haggis to shortbread and clootie dumpling!
Mary and Joseph joined Glenboig Primary for a whole school assembly and then spent the day with P4/5. Miss Gilmour kept everyone very busy learning.
Mary and Joseph showed us their spelling skills – how talented!
Mary and Joseph enjoyed hearing our beautiful singing voices during our show rehearsals.
Mary and Joseph began the month of December visiting Glenboig’s Primary 1 class. They had a very busy day with lots of different learning activities:-
The class watched “Geraldine the Giraffe” who tells us all about our new sound “h”. We even thought about words from the Nativity – “holy, heaven, halo.”
In Maths we are learning about 2d shapes. Our different station tasks were: – to take photos of different shapes using the iPad, to draw and colour different shapes using a ruler and to make different shapes with plasticine.
Here we are very busy at all our language tasks. Mary and Joseph watched us learn our new common words, make our own sentences and enjoy some time in our reading castle.
We have also been practising our numbers and can sort number lines into order.
You can’t visit Primary 1 without a stop off at our Post Office – Mary and Joseph popped in to buy a postcard!
A lovely busy day in Primary 1 … we wish Mary and Joseph a super journey – only 24 more sleeps till Christmas!
Primary 1 has its very own Post Office which is open daily. This activity is part of our “purposeful play” where the children are encouraged to role-play and improve their talking and listening skills. It is a wonderful way for them to develop their expressive language as well as “write for fun!”
We have been learning about stamps and envelopes and next week we will write our letters to Santa.
November 18th : All children from Primaries 5, 6 and 7 were very lucky to attend the first day of the championships in Glasgow. We were all very impressed with the fantastic ‘Emirates Stadium’ and were able to watch lots of singles,doubles and mixed doubles matches played by players from all over the world. In total, there were thirty six nations represented and many of us played ‘Who can name the flag?’
P6/7 would like to welcome you to their class page. We will show you all of our learning here with Mrs McLaughlin.
P5/6 welcome you to our page. We work hard in our classroom with Miss Waugh and Mrs Arbuckle.
We are P4/5 and we enjoy learning with Mrs Wright.
