Burns’ Supper
Primary 6 where very busy in class learning all about Robert Burns in preparation for our burns supper which was on Thursday the 21st of January. Everyone who came had an excellent time. It was a night to remember!
We learned about all different types of tartan and made our own design of tartan, and we also found out that people in our class have their own family tartan.
We learned the meanings some of the Scots dialect that was heard at the burns supper during some of our poems and songs.
Recently we drew some charcoal drawing of Robert burns, it got messy and there was charcoal everywhere but we still had fun doing it.
Half of the primary six class made haggis, neaps and tatties while the other half of the class made invitations and posters for our Burns Supper. After we made the food the whole class got to try a bit some people didn’t want to because they thought that they might not like it but after a little taste of the food everyone loved it
We all had fun with our Burns’ Supper and are looking forward to our next topic which is Scotland’s Time Lords.

Glenmanor Choir and Sense Scotland
On Monday 23rd of November, twenty five members of the Glenmanor choir attended an event called ‘Sense Scotland’ in the City Chambers in Glasgow. The aim of the event was to raise money for people who are deaf, blind physically challenged. This was a great opportunity for all the children who attended the event.
The Glenmanor choir is very keen to take part in more charity events. In the words of Miss O’Neill, “I am very proud of the children that took part”. The songs the children sang were ‘Somewhere Only We Know’, ‘Tonight’, ‘Come And Join The Celebration’, ‘Let It Go’ and ‘Emanuel’. The children had a fabulous time and thought that the building looked absolutely spectacular.

Primary Six Remembrance Day
Primary six marked Remembrance Day with a very dignified two minutes silence. They carried out a variety of tasks to enhance their knowledge of the effects war can have on the home life of children. Pupils researched what life was like for evacuees and the evacuation process, what happened during air raids and made keynote presentations and dioramas of all their findings.
Art From The Garden
Our garden club and primary 1a worked together to make some very interesting pictures. We collected natural items from our school gardens including colourful leaves, twigs and fruit . These items were then used to inspire pupils to create their own works of art!
Disco Mania in P6
Rehearsals for our school show are well under way! Some amazing costumes and our very own John Travolta!!
Izak 9 in P6
Primary six took part in an active maths workshop with ‘Izac 9’. This is a versatile maths resource that challenges pupils to solve problems across various concepts. It also encourages team work and cooperation. Pupils in room 14 gave it a big thumbs up.
The Health Factor Bus
Primary six took part in a healthy eating promotion on the Lidl Health Factor Bus. Pupils had the opportunity to select fruits and juice of their choice and made delicious and healthy smoothies.
A Busy Week in Primary Six
Primary six threw themselves into our cooking challenge this week and made ‘Patatas Bravas’. We used the potatoes and onions that we grew in our own school gardens! End result got the thumbs up from our official taster, Mrs Martin.
Pupils have been busy at home creating excellent posters displaying their knowledge of various aspects of the 1970s. Pupils have worked hard and made some fantastic posters.
Primary Six In The Garden
Primary six took advantage of our recent good weather and got working to maintain our school gardens. Pupils worked hard litter picking, raking, weeding and preparing our vegetable beds for planting.
Primary Six were also busy rehearsing for our school show ‘Is this the way to Amarillo?’ and I think that we are almost there!
We have been set a challenge to choose a recipe that includes onions and potatoes grown in our own school garden. We will be judged on flavour, presentation and originality! Pupils have been researching and found a huge variety of recipes to choose from. We now need to decide which will beat the competition!
