In Primary 4, we are learning about emotions. We learned about the variety of emotions that can be experienced and that our emotions not only affect us, but also those around us. We created some related artwork.
P4 Diacritical Marking
We practised the spelling strategy of diacritical marking on the teacher whiteboard this morning.
We Will Remember Them
Parents, carers and friends of Glenmanor,
We are looking for photos of relatives who you would like to be remembered for their contributions to the wars of the past in our memorial service this year. If you have any photos of these friends or relatives, please ask your child to pass them to Miss O’Neill or simply drop the photo into the school office with your name and number attached so we can take a copy and return the original to you. Their pictures and any facts about them will be included in a Powerpoint presentation during our Remembrance Day assembly. Thanks in advance, Miss O’Neill.
P1 Master Chef
Today P1 made leek and potato soup in the learning kitchen. First they harvested the leeks from the school garden before cutting some leeks, potatoes and carrots and putting them on to boil. Well done children. You did a great job! 😀
Garden Committee
Inspired by artist Andy Goldsworthy, our Garden Committee created this beautiful picture using materials found in our gardens. This work of art was created using leaves, crab apples, small branches, pebbles and netting.
P5/6 Designing and building in the garden.
Primary 5/6 were in the garden clearing the vegetable beds and when we were finished, the pupils found garden canes. They came rushing over to me and asked if they could build a Tipi; this was a house that the pupil’s had been learning about during our Native American topic.
It was great to see the enthusiasm and determination, but also to hear them discuss the design and how they were going to build it. They tried several ways to keep it up and after a few attempts, they managed to built the structure with the correct shape and made the space larger so that they could fit one of them inside. As you can see from their faces, the team effort paid off. A very proud teacher and a very creative class: Well Done P5/6!
P2 have been learning about the Jewish festival of Sukkot
Jewish people celebrate the festival of Sukkot by building a Sukkah in their garden and inviting family and friends for a meal inside.
P2 made a Sukkah out of wooden sticks, paper and plasticine – they had great fun!

Active Literacy in p1/2
This week was a very busy one in p1/2. Here are a few photographs of us practising our common words during consolidation week. Our other fantastic spelling group are pictured doing their ‘shape spelling’ task with their new common words. What a hard working class we are! 📝
P1/2 getting the garden ready for Winter
Today p1/2 helped out in the garden by picking the runner beans and courgettes and clearing both beds. Not only did we have fun, we also learned lots while out in garden! We can’t wait to continue to take our learning outdoors next term. 🌲🍂🍁
P.E in p1/2
This week p1/2 developed our team work skills by playing the ‘mat challenge’. We had to get our team from one side of the hall to the other without putting our hands or feet on the ground. The only help we had was 2 mats and our teammates.
This was a big challenge but each child managed it amazingly well. Well done, p1/2! 👏🏻
