3 Former Glenmanor Pupils Perform at Area Head Teacher’s Meeting

4 Comments

Midnight Sketch

The band ‘Midnight Sketch’ performed their own version of ‘Live Forever’ by Oasis at the Area Head Teacher’s Meeting today, held in Chryston High School. I was delighted to see that 3 out of 4 of the girls were former Glenmanor pupils, Emma, Georgia and Hannah, who played while Hayley (formerly Stepps PS) sang beautifully. Well done!

I spoke to the girls about how the band was created. Hayley explained that she had worked with Emma to write their own songs and their music teacher, Mr Drysdale, had suggested that they form a band by recruiting and drummer and a pianist.  They asked Georgia and Hannah to join them and they formed the band ‘Midnight Sketch’.

They have performed at Chryston High Talent Show and Chilterns Rest and Retirement Home. They will perform at Chryston High Summer Concert on 16 June and I have invited them to perform at our Summer Service on 24 June.

We look forward to seeing and hearing you soon!

Four Primary 3 girls travelled down to Newcastle over the weekend for a Cheerleading competition.  They were very excited and nervous in the days leading up to the competition but we are proud to find out that they have come 3rd place!  The girls brought in a huge trophy and were very proud of their efforts and even had the bruises to show for them!

Well done Freya, Megan, Leah and Rebecca!DSC00414DSC00448

P7 Pupils Win National Robert Burns Art Competition!

10 Comments

We entered a National Robert Burns Federation Art Competiton in January where the pupils were required to create a drawing inspired by a Burns poem. In response to this challenge, Callum drew ‘Twa dugs’, Connor’s drawing was inspired by ‘To A Louse’ and Hazel drew a beautiful rose inspired by the poem ‘My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose’ ‘The judge was so impressed with the level of competence that they were placed as follows – Callum (1st), Connor (2nd) and Hazel (3rd). Callum will be presented with the Toshio Namba trophy, all pupils will be given a certificate and the school will be presented with a £100 cheque for School Funds.

A Burns Federation representative will visit Glenmanor to make the presentations. Well done! What an outstanding achievement! Thanks to Ms Brunton who teaches the pupils and prepared them for the competition.
