An information session was held for nursery parents on September 23rd. Parents had the opportunity to find out about the learning experiences that can be provided when the children visit the forest. Parents were then invited to accompany their child on a walk to the site of our forest school and to assess the suitability of the forest environment. The feedback from parents was very positive and we look forward to beginning our forest school sessions with our pre-school children very soon.
Focus on Food Leadership Academy prepared carrot and coriander soup in preparation for our ‘Come Dine With Me’ parents event. We are looking forward to preparing our main course and desserts over the next few weeks.
A huge thank you to all of our parents/ carers, friends and family members that came along to support our 1st open event of the session. We very much look forward to working in partnership with you all.
The children really enjoyed researching the ‘Pop Art’ style invented by the famous American artist Andy Warhol. Then they looked at iconic computer games characters of the 1990’s, such as Mario Brothers and Sonic the Hedgehog. Finally, they used the unique features of pop art and applied those to their designs, using brightly coloured felt pens and coloured pencils. The final results were amazing!
In class P1 will be learning about pattern. They will be predicting what comes next in a pattern, continuing a pattern and creating their own patterns through various practical activities.
Primary six threw themselves into our cooking challenge this week and made ‘Patatas Bravas’. We used the potatoes and onions that we grew in our own school gardens! End result got the thumbs up from our official taster, Mrs Martin.
Pupils have been busy at home creating excellent posters displaying their knowledge of various aspects of the 1970s. Pupils have worked hard and made some fantastic posters.
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! 🙂
Great moves today. This dance is really shaping up for the concert!
Today p1b made a map of the school and navigated our little Beebot to different places. We used our knowledge of counting to 10 and positional language to help us control the Beebot. We really enjoyed this activity and can’t wait to do it again! 
P1a started off the ‘Ready, Steady, Cook!’ challenge today. You can see what every class has planned to make using the school garden potatoes and onions in the table below. Good luck everyone!
