Kilbowie Arrangements for 2-6 November 2015

October 31, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

General Information

The pupils worked well together to ensure that every child was comfortable with their allocated dormitory and activity group. We have exclusive use of the second floor seaward block at Kilbowie. Each dormitory has two sets of bunkbeds, a wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. There will be a maximum of 4 children in each dorm.

Mrs Martin, Ms Hendry and Mrs Allan will accompany the pupils to Kilbowie with Mrs Martin taking the overall lead. Mrs Martin will directly oversee the boys’ dormitories, which are Rooms 13a to Room 15 and Ms Hendry will directly oversee the girls’ dormitories, which are Rooms 9a to Room 11. Mrs Allan will also support all pupils.

The activity groups have a maximum of 10 pupils and are made up completely of boys and girls from Glenmanor.

Payment

Kilbowie must be paid in full by Friday 30 October 2015.

Clothes

Please see below the clothing list that was previously issued in the Kilbowie – Information for Parents and Pupils booklet.

Medication

If your child requires medication while at Kilbowie, you should have completed the parental request form and handed this in to school. You should have obtained a separate supply of medicine, properly labelled from the pharmacist. Please ensure that the medicine container is clearly labelled with the name of your child, the name of the medicine, the dosage and time to be taken. Please put the medicine in a clear plastic bag and ensure that this is also clearly labelled with the child’s name. You must ensure that there is enough medicine to last until your child returns from the residential excursion.

If your child experiences travel sickness, please follow the procedures above and inform a member of staff at check in.

If your child suffers from asthma or another medical condition, it is essential that you inform me of any restrictions that need to be applied to his/her activities and the medication that has been prescribed for routine and emergency treatment.

If you child suffers from epileptic attacks, diabetes or anaphylactic shock, it is essential that you inform me of the appropriate emergency treatment which should be given.

Spendng Money

Children should bring no more than £5 for the tuck shop in £1 coins or smaller change. Children can also bring a further £5 to spend on souvenirs at the “Green Welly” pit stop on the way home from Kilbowie. Please ensure that your child’s money is in a purse/wallet with the child’s name clearly labelled. Kilbowie operates a healthy living policy. They do not sell fizzy drinks or crisps and if anyone is thirsty, they have bottled water and cartons of still juice.

Check In

All pupil and parents should access the school via the main doors at 9am on Monday 2 November. There will be two check in desks, one for boys and one for girls, where you will be asked to hand over any medication and spending money and these will be safely stored by staff going to Kilbowie. Once checked in, you will be asked to wait in the hall until the bus arrives at 9.30am.

Bus Journey

The bus takes approximately 3½ hours from Moodiesburn to Oban. The bus stops at the Green Welly for a comfort break only and will arrive at Kilbowie in time for lunch. Please ensure that your child has had a good breakfast and do not provide sweets and drinks for the bus journey (or your child’s stay) as we don’t want children being sick on the way. They will be given a substantial lunch when they arrive at Kilbowie.

Updates

We will keep you updated via twitter (@GlenmanorPS) so please follow us for notifications and the pupils will add updates to the blog (search for Glenmanor blog).

P7 PE at Chryston

October 27, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

Primary 7 have moved on to look at developing their skills within gymnastics. Pupils had the opportunity to use ICT to take pictures of them performing a balance. They then used the picture to evaluate if they could make any improvements to the skill, before attempting the balance again.

Art From The Garden

October 26, 2015 Mrs Quinn Leave a comment

Our garden club and primary 1a worked together to make some very interesting pictures. We collected natural items from our school gardens including colourful leaves, twigs and fruit . These items were then used to inspire pupils to create their own works of art!

P5, 6 and 7 Pupils Pilot Izak 9

September 30, 2015 User deactivated 1 Comment

P6 were first to find out what’s in the box! A set of 9 cubes with different colours, shapes and numbers on each face of the cube. Animated characters, Abacus and Helix set the pupils some challenging maths tasks on the screen and the pupils are encouraged to plan, do, review and make sense of the tasks as a team.

The teams worked really hard together and enjoyed finding different ways to solve the problems set. The tasks generated a lot of discussion and excitement, especially when completed!

P5 had great fun putting Izak 9 through its paces. Delighted faces when problems were solved!

Some P7 pupils stayed after school to try out the resource. They tried out some more challenging tasks involving fractions and precentages. Well done!

Thank you to Franz for giving up his time today to show us this fantastic resource.

P7 PE at Chryston High School

September 16, 2015 User deactivated 3 Comments

Our Primary 7’s had great fun this week when they had their PE experience at Chryston High School. They participated in an orienteering activity in pairs – the race was on to see who finished first! We would like to thank our parent helpers, they seemed to have as much fun as the class, and of course, the staff and pupils within Chryston high school.
