Primary 5 were inspired by some of Ed Moses’ artwork today. The children created their own paintings after looking at some of Ed Moses’ work. They used pieces of cardboard to create the lines in their paintings.
A special thank you to Kayley who researched and shared the artist as part of her 1970’s topic research.
It was drizzly day as the choirs from Glenmanor and St Michael’s Primaries waited patiently for the service to begin. They sung beautifully ‘Give Me Joy in My Heart’ and ‘Going Home’ and their behaviour was excellent. Well done everyone!
There was a great turnout from the community to support the service.
Willie Doolan, Secretary opened the service and Danny Taylor, Chairman, remembered the 47 miners who lost their lives 56 years ago. David Collins, from Moodieburn & District played while the names were read out. Then there was the laying of the wreaths.
Rev Mark Malcolm read from the Bible then Elaine Smith, MSP, and Provost Jim Robertson, NLC, both read a dedication and Father Michael Briody said a prayer.
Nicky Wilson, President of NUM read a dedication and Captain John Parry, Salvation Army read the benedition at the end of the service.
We are all looking forward to seeing you at our parents’ open event this Friday! Please arrive at 9 and join us in the hall for tea or coffee.
The Parent Council will launch their Christmas card activity that you can complete with your child during the open event.
Carolyn McKeown and Jacqueline Bryce, Adult Literacy and Numeracy Support Workers, will introduce themselves and ask how they can help you through a short questionnaire.
The bell will ring at 9.30am and our senior pupils will take you to the classrooms, starting with the ground floor and working upwards. You will see your child’s teacher and have the opportunity to join in your child’s learning until 10.30am. We hope to see you all there!
Primary 7 and 6/7 have been busy this week learning more of our dance for the school concert! It has been tricky learning to sing and dance at the same time – Mrs Ritchie cant keep up!
P2/3 choir and P4-7 choir singing their hearts out today. P4-7 choir were practising hymns for the upcoming Auchengeich Memorial Service.
Outstanding art work from P4-7 artists in residence at Glenmanor! They were doing a masterclass on the pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. Fantastic! Next week we will feature our dance group!
Have a look at P2’s wonderful wall display. They created mermaid collages and ‘WANTED’ posters for the mermaid called Freya in their class story, “Can You Catch a Mermaid?”
Primary 4 have been practising extremely hard for the school concert. They have been working with Primary 3 and Mrs Green on ‘Let’s Get Ready To Rumble’ by Ant and Dec. They have also enjoyed singing and dancing to ‘5,6,7,8’ by Steps.
P2/3 have been looking at how technology has changed in the years 2000 – 2015. They have learned all about the Millenium Bug and made their own versions of what the bug would look like if it was real.
Today Primary 5 looked at some of Robert Smithson’s drawings and photographs. We looked at Robert Smithson’s drawing called the Wandering Canal with Mounds. We found out that Robert Smithson drew this in 1971- linking to our 70’s topic! We enjoyed recreating the drawing using charcoal.
As part of our topic on the ‘swinging sixties’ P6/7 have been learning all about the fashion trends of the decade. In groups we have started to create moodboards on fashion trends which symbolised the sixties. We have been using different textures, colours and images to capture themes such as psychedelic flower power, futuristic space age, mods and rockers. Once complete, we will create our own 60’s inspired outfits with the help of our boards.
