Teach Your Teacher Day!
The children in Primary 5 have swapped roles with Miss Gillespie today and yesterday as she became a student and they became the teacher! All the children worked in groups to plan a 45 minute lesson. Each group worked well in their teams to think of a topic, write a lesson plan and organise all of their resources. We learnt about different art techniques, cars, South Africa, the Euros and different sports. Miss Gillespie was very impressed with all the aspiring teachers and enjoyed being a pupil for the morning!
Glenmanor Garden Party – Primary 4
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.
Primary 4 Garden Enterprise
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.
Learning in the Sunshine
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.
Whole Lotta History!
Glenmanor’s Senior Choir are practising for the end of term service! Here’s a clip of One Direction’s ‘History.’

The Vikings Are Coming!
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.
