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.
P5 were so excited to see their artwork in the gallery today! We loved looking at all the amazing paintings and drawings. You should all be so proud of yourselves!
Primary 2 and 3 art class had lots of fun this week experimenting with blowing, spraying and dripping paint to create a Jackson Pollock inspired piece of artwork. We are looking forward to seeing the end product!
Primary 5 have entered Poppyscotland’s competition to design a cake for The Queen’s 90th Birthday. If our design wins, it will be made into a cake for The Queen on board the Royal Yacht Britannia. The winner will also be invited to a VIP photocall and presented with their cake in June, as well as winning some arts and crafts materials for the class! Here are some of our entries…
Good luck everyone!
Primary 5 have had a busy time at school learning new things and taking part in different opportunities.
In maths, we have been learning about division. We made the most of the sunshine and practised our sums outside.
We have also been looking at the artist Piet Mondrian. We created some of our own paintings in the style of his work and we listened to swing music whilst we painted, just as Piet Mondrian did!
We really enjoyed cooking our fairtrade breakfast in the learning kitchen. We made blueberry and banana breakfast muffins and they were delicious! We used as many fairtrade products from the Co-Operative as we could.
P5 have had lots of fun completing different World Book day activities. We took part in a character parade and quiz. We designed a front cover for a book with the title “Ocean Monsters”, wrote a blurb about the story and created a character description. We took part in a book swap with our friends in class and we have designed a book token and a bookmark! We have been busy bees! Everyone who dressed up looked fab too!
Primary 4 welcomed parents, carers, grans, papas and other family members to our school open event last Friday. We all had a fabulous time telling our visitors interesting facts about rainbows. Then we used a variety of mixed media, such as tissue paper, crepe paper, felt, fabric and other materials to create our wonderful rainbows. The adults had as much fun as we did! Primary 4 would like to say a big thank you to everyone who visited us.
As part of our weather topic, we have been researching how rainbows are formed and finding out other interesting facts. We also carried out an experiment to create our own rainbow in the classroom, by using a jar of water, a sheet of plain white paper and the power of the sun. During the Open Day on Friday, we are going to be making our own rainbow collages, using mixed media, such as crepe paper, tissue paper, foil, felt and other materials in all the different colours of the rainbow.
Primary 5 have been working hard this week to finish reading their novels. In pairs, the children were asked to summarise their novel thinking about what happened in the beginning, the middle and at the end. They then chose a character from the novel to draw on a big poster. Children then wrote their summaries on the back of their super drawings and they are now hanging from our ceiling for everyone to read. Well done for working so hard as a team!
The Amazon Rainforest is coming alive in room 8. We are working very hard everyday making the layers of the rainforest. Primary 3 are having so much fun!!
Two more layers to go!
