The Robert Burns World Federation run many annual competitions for primary and secondary schools in Scotland and many other countries including Australia and Russia!

Three Glenmanor pupils from P7 entered the Federation’s art competition where their task was to draw a picture infuenced by a Burns poem. Here are the pupils with their entries –

We received a letter from the  Federation informing us that our pupil’s  art work was of such a high standard that they had won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the National Art Competition! We were absolutley delighted!

Jim Thomson (President) and Isa Hanley (Schools Convener) of the Robert Burns World Federation visited Glenmanor Primary on Friday morning to make a special presentation to our three talented pupils.

Here is the overall winner  being awarded a beautiful trophy and certificate from Jim and Isa.

P7 Graduation 19 June 2015

6 Comments

We had a fantastic graduation afternoon yesterday with our P7 pupils,  parents, friends and members of the community.

It started off with a wonderful rendition of ‘Hold Back The River’ where the pupils sang their hearts out.

We watched their hilarious video perfomance ‘Songs in the Real Life’ and their ‘Back to The Future’ Memories Sketch.

Next was the pupil’s own ‘ Oscar Awards Ceremony’

Then lots of  ‘ahhs’ as we looked at photos from P1 and P7 of each pupil during the ‘Forever Young’ Photo Presentation

The Movie Theme Dance Off was full of energy and the jury is out on who really won. Boys? Girls?  Here are a selection of photos from the dances –

All pupils were then presented with a personalised certificate of achievement by Ms Brunton (P7 teacher)  and Mrs Charles (P6/7 teacher).

One of the most tense moments came next while each pupil waited to hear who had been awarded the six school cups. The cup names and reasons for being awarded are as follows – Moore Cup (Successful Learner), Lynsey Henderson Cup (Effective Contributor), Scottish Water Solutions Cup (Responsible Citizen), Joan Matthews Cup (Confident Individual), Botterills Cup (Outstanding Sports Person) and Auchengeich Memorial Cup (Exceptional Team Player).

And the worthy winners were –

We also presented this delighted pupil below with a beautiful trophy on behalf of Robert Burns World Federation for winning the National Primary School’s Art Competition. We also had the pupils who won 2nd and 3rd in this competiton. All three pupils received a certificate  and their art work is on display in the reception area.

Our Infant Choir rounded off a great event by singing three songs “The Banana Song’,  ‘Frozen In Summer’ and ‘Never Miss A Beat’.

Then it was time to relax with family and friends with a wee glass of fizz (Shloer!) and some lovely truffles hand made in our learning kitchen.

Thank you to Ms Brunton, Mrs Charles, Glenmanor Support Staff, Parents and Family for making this a fantastic event.  And ofcourse the P7 pupils themselves! Thanks also to John and Leah for taking all the photos you have viewed on the blog. Great job done!

We are looking forward to our special P7 event this afternoon. The graduation will start at 1.30pm. Please line up at the left door main entrance and we will get you in to the hall as soon as we have cleared up from lunch time.

Tea and coffee will be available on arrival.

Our P7 pupils will impress you today with their talents in singing, acting and dancing.

We will then present all pupils with a certificate of achievement and the six school cups. All school staff have voted for the pupils they feel are worthy of receiving the school cups. We will announce the winners of our school cups for the most successful learner, effective contributor, responsible citizen, confident individual, outstanding sports person and exceptional team player.  There will be a very special presentation from the Robert Burns World Federation to our 3 fantastic artists who came 1st, 2nd and 3rd in a national competition.

Our infant choir will finish off the graduation with 3 songs before the P7 graduates join their family in the hall for light refreshments and photos. We had hoped to finish the graduation in the community garden but the Met office forecast today is cloudy with light showers 🙁

We look forward to seeing you this afternoon on this memorable occasion!
