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.

Poetry Workshop

P6/7 have been taking part in poetry workshops through Oxfam. They worked with poets from Scotland and Palestine who asked them to bring in items that had special meaning to them to inspire them to write poems.

P6/7 Pupils

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'.
