Our P7 teacher got married during the Summer holidays and her new name is Mrs Ritchie.
To help celebrate a very successful year pupils, staff, parents and members of the community came together to recognise our achievements and say goodbye and good luck to P7 and Mrs McLeod. We were entertained by both our junior and senior choirs. “Midnight Sketch” who are a band from Chryston High performed two songs.
Pupils with perfect attendance were recognised with a certificate. Our school Chaplain, Mark McKeown spoke warmly to our P7’s about moving on and new beginnings.
Mrs Karen Wallace and Mrs Jackie Holmes from our Parent Council presented every P7 with a tie for high school, an autograph book, pen and a photograph from their P7 party. Thank you to the Parent Council for their continued hard work and dedication to raising money and supporting our school.
Mrs McLeod was presented with flowers from the Parent Council, a special book containing a good luck message from every child in the school and flowers from staff.
Thank you to all parents and members of our community for your continued support. We hope you have a great summer.

We are preparing for our Summer Service, which will be held on 24 June from 9.30 -10.30. All parents/carers are welcome to attend and tea and coffees will be available in the hall from 9am onwards.
The draft programme is detailed below –
Our Infant Choir will start off the service by singing ‘The Banana Song’, ‘Frozen In Summer’ and ‘Never Miss A Beat’.
Then we have a very special performance from a band called Midnight Sketch Band. They will perform covers of ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ and ‘Live Forever’. The band members are at Chryston High School and 3 out of 4 of them are former Glenmanor pupils!
Perfect Attendance Certificates will be awarded to 13 of our pupils.
We will then share the names of the P7 School Cups winners and the pupils can hold up their cups again in front of all the pupils. The winner of Robert Burns World Federation Primary School Art Competition will also show off their cup.
Our School Chaplain Mark McKeown will talk about New Beginnings.
Next our Parent Council Presentation will take place, where the pupils will be presented with school ties and autograph books and pens.
Our Senior Choir will sing ‘Higher Than Higher’ and ‘See You Again’
We will then say ‘Goodbye and Good Luck’ to Staff leaving Glenmanor.
The Summer Service will end with both Infant and Senior Choirs singing ‘Uptown Funk’ together.
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!
P3 had a fantastic time competing in the flat, hurdles, bean bag and sack races. We were also very fortunate to have the sun shining down on us! Thanks to all those who came to cheer P3 on.
And the winners are:
Some class pics of our medal winners! We are so proud of your efforts.
