p6/7 Homework on Space Week 1
We have been busy completing a variety of space themed tasks as part of our homework this term. As you will see from the photos, some of us made space themed trumps cards, planet posters, acrostic planet poems and alien masks. Mrs Beaton was particularly impressed with the space cookies some of the class made…yum!
P1 joint gym
Today primary 1a and 1b were learning to move an object to a target. We were working very hard on our focus and concentration skills!
Primary 4 – New Year Resolutions
We have enjoyed looking back at our proudest moments of 2015. Then we discussed our targets for 2016 and came up with a few New Year Resolutions linked to school life, such as learning our times tables, working harder on the presentation of our written work in our jotters and listening more carefully to Mrs McDaid’s instructions.
Multiplication in P3.
Primary 3 have been learning about multiplication. We used cubes to help us sort the numbers into groups. We worked well and learned a lot.
Burns Competition at Glenmanor
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 at the end of the month. 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 – Farewell to aw our Scottish Fame, P7 – Lament to the Toothache.
Calling all P6 Parents/Friends

Primary 4 Christmas Activities
We have been getting into the festive mood in our class by designing our own Christmas baubles, Christmas stockings and drawings of Santa and Rudolph. We watched a very interesting video which gave us step by step instructions on how to draw Rudolph.
Mrs McDaid and Primary 4 would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Ready Steady Cook Challenge- P3
In the kitchen this morning some children from P3 prepared and made a Moroccan Potato Salad. The children experienced chopping potatoes, cutting parsley and making their own vinaigrette.
Then all the children had a taste and the majority of the children enjoyed the salad but a few children didn’t like the red onion.
Mrs Martin joined us afterwards and had a taste and she was very impressed. She was very surprised to hear that we made our own vinaigrette and she absolutely loved our potato salad.
