The boys and girls in the nursery have been spending time outside at the garden area , planting bulbs , which they will look after and help to grow into lovely Daffodils for Spring time. The children are very excited to watch them grow and turn into beautiful flowers.
Today was our first meeting of the Focus on Food / Fairtrade Leadership committee group. We had a group discussion about what we want the group to achieve this year and voted for 3 aims for the year. Some children researched fairtrade snacks for a possible Fairtrade tuckshop while others created a ‘Courgette Loaf Cake’ using produce from our garden in the Learning Kitchen. We can’t wait until our next session!
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.
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.

We had great fun today making our bird houses for the Garden Party. First of all we had to build our bird houses, then we used acrylic paint to paint the background and then we finished them off by using glitter, sequins and gems.
Today, P2 began making their craft to sell at the Glenmanor Garden Party. Can you guess what it might be?
We have been having great fun finding out about the different kinds of weapons the Vikings used. We particularly enjoyed researching the various types of shields and then we designed and created our own Viking shields.
Today Glenmanor held an art exhibition in the school hall. Parents and pupils from nursery to Primary 7 had the chance to visit the gallery and admire the stunning artwork on display. The feedback from parents and pupils alike has been very positive. Thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event.
Another fantastic heat at our ‘Great Glen Bake Off’. Exceptionally high standards again today. We are so impressed with the effort and dedication children are putting into this competition. Well done everyone! Caylan and Sophie secured their place in the grand final.
