Farewell to Miss Sommerville
It was with great sadness that Teanassie staff, pupils, parents and friends said goodbye to Miss Sommerville who is off to do time on Shetland. We are hoping that this is just au revoir and not adieu and we will see her smiling face again before our existing P1s transfer to Charleston.
Visitor to P6/7
Primary 6/7 are learning about life in other parts of the world and enjoyed a visit by one of our parents, Mandy Towrie, who gave a very informative talk on Malawi.
Winter at Teanassie
It's a cold and snowy morning at Teanassie and acknowledgment and thanks go to Mrs Fordham, Mr Cormack and Mr McKenna who, in the absence of a daily School Janitor, kindly grit the playground to make it safe for the children and staff. What stars!
Stable Manners
P6/7 project this term is an Enterprise project. We will be putting on a Christmas Show called Stable Manners and involving the whole school. We are involved from start to finish from casting to catering.
The class also have other roles: choreography, sales and marketing, costume department, props and scenery, personal assistants, script adaptors and technical support.
This type of learning will develop many personal skills including thinking skills, independent learning, creativity, financial skills, teamwork and will develop us further as confident individuals.

Thinking about thinking
Involving the children in dialogue about their thinking can have interesting results. This article in the Independent was particularly interesting. Some of Teanassie's RME lessons deal with similar issues and involve similar activities. If you are interested in using thinking games with your own child we recommend Robert Fisher's books 'Games for Thinking' and 'Stories for Thinking'.
