We Will Remember Them

Leave a comment

Parents, carers and friends of Glenmanor,

We are looking for photos of relatives who you would like to be remembered for their contributions to the wars of the past in our memorial service this year. If you have any photos of these friends or relatives, please ask your child to pass them to Miss O’Neill or simply drop the photo into the school office with your name and number attached so we can take a copy and return the original to you. Their pictures and any facts about them will be included in a Powerpoint presentation during our Remembrance Day assembly. Thanks in advance, Miss O’Neill.

P4 Beetroot, Carrot and Kale Nutriblast Smoothie!

Leave a comment

Primary 4 enjoyed experimenting with different quantities of the beetroot, carrots, kale, runner beans and radish seeds that we harvested from the garden yesterday and added water to make healthy energy smoothies in class. We had fun tasting the different flavours! Next time we think we’ll add honey to make them more palatable! 😀

P4 in the Garden!

2 Comments

The boys and girls went into the community garden today to see what has been growing in the vegetable patches. They were amazed by how many different things had grown over the summer! We tasted some fresh peas, apples and runner beans and plan to make a Nutriblast Smoothie tomorrow with vegetables from the garden. Stay tuned to see if our recipe is successful!

3 Comments

A fantastic time was had by all at our 50th anniversary garden party. Children showcased their knowledge and skills by leading parents and members of the community on a scavenger hunt round our vegtable beds, mini beast hotel, sensory garden and ornamental plants.

Our fabulous parent council lead a community event with the mounted police, dog handlers, fire brigade and various sweet treats!

Thank you to everyone helped organise this celebration that brought members of our community together.

Glenmanor Garden Party – Primary 4

Leave a comment

We had a fabulous time celebrating the 50th anniversary of our school.  We had great fun taking part in the scavenger  hunt then had a look at all the wonderful enterprise stalls, including our own.  Then we had some of the delicious cakes and refreshing drinks.  We came back into the hall and worked with our parents, carers and other family members on making our newspaper plant pots.  Once our pots were made, we filled them with compost and sprinkled some seeds into the soil.  A fantastic time was had by all.image image image image image image image image image image image image image

Learning in the Sunshine

Leave a comment

Primary 5 have loved being able to learn in our fabulous gardens in the sunshine.

Expressive Arts

Today we were developing our skills in drawing still life objects. We looked at some of the flowers in our garden and discussed how everybody looks at an object differently. Some of us prefer to focus on the detail, whilst others like to look at the shapes and colours.

Taught Writing

We also enjoyed the sunshine whilst writing persuasive pieces of writing. We were trying to convince people to save the rainforests and to prevent deforestation.

Gardening

We have also been very helpful in making sure our vegetables and plants are being watered in the garden.
