The children have been enjoying finding out what life was like in the 1990’s. The have been researching significant people and important events of that decade. They had great fun finding out about clothes and fashion of the 90’s and designed their own outfits.

Our gardening leadership academy focused on litter picking, weeding and watering the plants. They wanted to make sure our school gardens were ready looking good for our nursery and P7 graduations.

Mrs Martin taught our cooking leaders how to make chocolate truffles for the P7 graduation. Ms Kelly supported Mrs Martin in the learning kitchen as the pupils melted chocolate, bashed biscuits and mixed them together with coconut. The pupils mixed the ingredients together, used their hands to roll them into balls then coated them in chocolate. Once completed, the truffles were placed on a tray and placed in the fridge, ready for the big day!
Mrs Barrington worked with the rest of the pupils on three tasks related to the official launch of our learning kitchen next session. The tasks were to design an invitation for the official launch of the learning kitchen , to create a buffet menu that the cooking leadership academy could make and to plan the events for the opening. Sophie had some super ideas for the last task and is showing the skills of an event manager in the making!
The second part of our parents event took place in the Learning Kitchen where the pupils from P3 and Spanish Club pupils from P4 and 5 were serving tapas (Spanish snacks) to all our visitors.

The cafe was very popular and successful with pupils serving the food in Spanish and helping their parents/guardians with the pronunciation of the phrases left on each table. The tapas were eaten up very quickly so we haven’t got many pictures of the snacks on offer but we do promise they were delicious – muy delicioso.
Thanks to all my helpers especially Johnathon who took the photos for me as I was busy in the kitchen. Muchas gracias for such a wonderful turnout!
Today we sorted and counted the litter that P2/3 had collected from playtime. We then created a graph and it showed us the types of litter that had been dropped and we could see how healthy or unhealthy we are being!
We noticed that crisps and sugary snacks were a popular snack choice and fruit was the least popular, when we think it should be the opposite.
However, we did think that our drinks are quite healthy as we drink a lot of milk and water.
We were shocked at how much litter was on the ground and we encourage other children to use the playground bins. Thank you!
We have been learning how to identify and name a variety of fractions during Maths time. We use Fraction Loop Cards, Fraction Bingo, Fraction Dominoes and Fraction Matching Cards to help us improve.
We had a wonderful time at the Primary Games today. Our Glenmanor banner came 3rd in the competition! Well done to all the children who took part and thank you to Mrs Allan and Mrs Cameron for coming along to help out.
We had a fantastic time at sports day today. Thank you to all the parents who came along today to support this event. Some parents even stayed all day!
Thank you to John Rooney (P7) who took these great photos today.
Thank you for all your help today, John! You were a star!
We all had a great time at our sports day today and the lovely weather was the icing on the cake!
Some of our Primary 4 and 5 children will be representing Glenmanor Primary tomorrow at the Primary Games in Ravenscraig Sports Arena. They will have the chance to take part in a variety of sporting events along with a number of other primary schools. The children have made a banner to represent Glenmanor Primary School. Have a great day everyone!
