Welcome Chryston High Horticultural Group 23 September 2015
Our P6 pupils were delighted when Mr Jopling came down with his horticultural team today. We were pleased to see two former Glenmanor pupils return to their old school! The boys did a great job leading the P6 pupils to turn over the soil.
Mr Jopling had a look round our sensory garden and our community garden and gave Mrs Quinn some great advice and suggestions. We hope that we can work with the team to make our gardens a brilliant space for learning.
Thank you for helping us today! 🙂
P7 PE at Chryston High School
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.

P7 Graduation 19 June 2015
We had a fantastic graduation afternoon yesterday with our P7 pupils, parents, friends and members of the community.
It started off with a wonderful rendition of ‘Hold Back The River’ where the pupils sang their hearts out.
We watched their hilarious video perfomance ‘Songs in the Real Life’ and their ‘Back to The Future’ Memories Sketch.
Next was the pupil’s own ‘ Oscar Awards Ceremony’
Then lots of ‘ahhs’ as we looked at photos from P1 and P7 of each pupil during the ‘Forever Young’ Photo Presentation
The Movie Theme Dance Off was full of energy and the jury is out on who really won. Boys? Girls? Here are a selection of photos from the dances –
All pupils were then presented with a personalised certificate of achievement by Ms Brunton (P7 teacher) and Mrs Charles (P6/7 teacher).
One of the most tense moments came next while each pupil waited to hear who had been awarded the six school cups. The cup names and reasons for being awarded are as follows – Moore Cup (Successful Learner), Lynsey Henderson Cup (Effective Contributor), Scottish Water Solutions Cup (Responsible Citizen), Joan Matthews Cup (Confident Individual), Botterills Cup (Outstanding Sports Person) and Auchengeich Memorial Cup (Exceptional Team Player).
And the worthy winners were –
We also presented this delighted pupil below with a beautiful trophy on behalf of Robert Burns World Federation for winning the National Primary School’s Art Competition. We also had the pupils who won 2nd and 3rd in this competiton. All three pupils received a certificate and their art work is on display in the reception area.
Our Infant Choir rounded off a great event by singing three songs “The Banana Song’, ‘Frozen In Summer’ and ‘Never Miss A Beat’.
Then it was time to relax with family and friends with a wee glass of fizz (Shloer!) and some lovely truffles hand made in our learning kitchen.
Thank you to Ms Brunton, Mrs Charles, Glenmanor Support Staff, Parents and Family for making this a fantastic event. And ofcourse the P7 pupils themselves! Thanks also to John and Leah for taking all the photos you have viewed on the blog. Great job done!
Nursery Class Graduation
The boys and girls of Glenmanor Nursery Class enjoyed a very special day yesterday (Thursday 18 June). The preschool children had their graduation in preparation for their move to primary school.
It was an emotional experience for all the mums, dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles but also an emotional experience for all their teachers!
We wish them all good luck as they move to primary school. We will miss you all!
