The children had to choose a topic that they wanted to learn about and the response was fantastic! Topics ranged from Harry Potter to Alcatraz. Well done to you all!

P5/6 The Last Wolf of Scotland?
Today we learned about a controversial issue: “Should wolves be reintroduced into the Scottish Highlands?” We researched both sides of the argument and created our own pieces of persuasive writing on the subject. We also published our writing using the class iPads. What do you think about bringing wolves back to Scotland?
P5/6 Chill Skills
P5 and P5/6 took part in their first ‘Relax Kids’ workshop today where we focused on the power of positive thinking. We all came away with a positive affirmation about ourselves to think about this week. We can’t wait till next Monday now!
Patrick – “My affirmation was, I am awesome!”
Johnathon – “I am special”
Peyton – “Mine was, I am unique.”
P5/6 Africa art at Golden Time
During Golden Time today, we used up the left over paint from the open morning to make these amazing Africa outlines using straws to blow the paint!
P5/6 African Tribal Masks
What do you think of our completed Tribal Masks? Aren’t they fantastic! We thought about our use of colour, shape and pattern when making our designs.
P5/6 Bilateral Integration
Here we are working on our Bilateral Integration as part of our P.E. It helps us to co-ordinate our bodies and improves our spatial awareness. This activity is called, ‘Body Taps.’
P5/6 African Mask Plans
Today we created plans to make African Tribal inspired masks. We can’t wait for our parents and guardians to help us make our masks at the open event this Friday morning!
P5/6 Birdwatch Results
We looked closely at our data and arranged it into a bar graph so that our results are clear and well presented.
It is clear from these results that crows and gulls favour Glenmanor the most!
How could we encourage smaller, garden birds to our school areas?
P5/6 Big Schools’ Birdwatch!
Today we took part in the RSPB’s Big Schools’ Birdwatch. We got our waterproofs and wellies on and headed out to the garden to sit and look and listen for the different species of birds that live in our area. Stay tuned for the results of our survey!
P5/6 Shake Makelele Inspired Art
