Today in class we were making compass art. The compass we were using were for drawing circles with different size radius. This is how you use one:
step 1 get the compass.
step 2 sharpen your pencil.
step 3 untwist you compass untill you find a hole
step 4 get the sharp pencil and put the pencil in the hole.
step 5 twist it the other way.
step 6 put the compass on paper and you can draw a circle.

The Junior Choir have been working hard to learn some Scottish songs to sing at the Burns Competition on Friday. Here is their version of an old song, “Glasgow Underground.”
The Rainforest
The children learned all about the layers of the rainforest. We can name and identify all the layers with confidence. We will be learning about the animals who live in each layer.
Badminton
The class had fun using the net for the first time today. A lot of the children found it challenging to hit the shuttlecock over the net but they know that with lots of practise they will get better!
Portraits
The children learned how to draw a face and we chose a friend to draw. The class had lots of fun drawing their friend. Some of the drawings were so good that we could identify who they were.
Multiplication
The children enjoyed using pasta shapes to help them find out the answers to the 4 times table.
A reminder that each class have been given a Scots poem to learn at home as part of our annual Burns celebrations at Glenmanor Primary.
All children will have the opportunity to recite their poem from memory within their own class and some children will be selected as finalists to perform at a whole-school Burns assembly. There will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize for each class and these children will be awarded with official Robert Burns Federation certificates.
Children should learn their poem off by heart and add suitable expression and actions. Some of the poems are performed by people online on sites such as YouTube and this may assist your child in learning their poem.
The poems are as follows:
P1a/P1b – My Wee Rid Motor, P2/P2/3 – Nessie, P3 – The Sair Finger, P4 – Fireworks aff the Castle, P4/5/P5 – A Chuckie in yer Shoe, P6/P6/7 – Such a Parcel of Rogues in a Nation, P7 – Lament to the Toothache.
If you need another copy of the poem, please ask Miss O’Neill.

P5 have started a new topic about volcanoes . We have been researching different kinds of volcanoes and we wrote an introduction for our project. We watched a video about volcanoes erupting and it was very interesting. We then moved onto art to make our front covers for our volcano project. We made the front cover by drawing a volcano and then using watery paint and straws to blow the paint. This made it look like the volcano was erupting. We are excited to learn more about our new topic!

The boys and girls worked very hard to create these amazing wintry landscapes. They used the medium of oil pastel to make the scene look realistic.
Merry Christmas from P2!

In Primary 5 today we were presenting our research posters about Christmas in different countries. The countries we researched were France, Mexico, India, Japan, Scotland, Germany and Brazil. We researched how to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in our countrie’s languages, we learnt what they call Santa, the food they eat at Christmas and we learnt about the decorations they put up. An interesting fact we learnt was that in India they decorate their house with mango leaves.
We wish you a Merry Christmas!! Can you guess what languages these are?
Joyeux Noel, Feliz Navidad, Felliz Natal, Frohe Weihnachten, Shimen Omedeta Kurisamasu Omedeto and Mer
