Children's Summer Fair

£230 was raised at the Summer Fair which was organised and run by the pupils on a beautiful Wednesday morning. This is a really great achievement and the money will go into Teanassie School Funds to pay for all the extra items the school needs. Thank you very much to everybody who came along to support us.

Magnus House opening ceremony

4 June 2009 was a big day for Sir John Lister Kay and his Rangers at Aigas Field Centre, near Beauly when Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, came to open Magnus House (named after Magnus Magnusson).
The environmental education centre cost £380,000 to build and has a grass roof, a Scots pine on the inside and local larch on the outside. Around 350 people came to the huge event although only close friends and neighbours of Sir John were allowed inside for the speeches and presentations. Iona Short and Hector Wotherspoon presented a pair of Swarovski binoculars to Prince Charles and a bouquet of flowers was given to Camilla.
A few children from Teanassie and Tomnacross Primary Schools helped the Royals plant trees outside the Magnus House. It was a very good day although a few go wet with the scattered showers here and there!

Inter-Schools Athletics

This event, held at Bught Park, produced some outstanding performances by Teanassie who were runners-up in the Colonel J McIntosh Section and won nine medals – two Gold and 7 Silver. The team consisted of Catriona, Iona, Meiggidh, Ruairidh, Hector, Sophie, Freya, Kyle and Geoffrey (with Finlay Forsyth as sub). Many thanks to Sharon Gallacher for her guidance, unfailing encouragement and time.

Fun Run

The magnificent sum of over £200 was raised at the Fun Run on Friday evening. Congratulations to Iona Short and Archie Wotherspoon on being first girl and boy home. The fabulous weather contributed to a very pleasant evening without midges!

At the end of the day

Although our new parents’ car park is so much safer than in the past, Mr Danson is concerned that some parents do not collect their children from the school gate but allow them to cross to their car unattended. This is very dangerous given the number of cars and buses negotiating the car park at the end of the day.To avoid an accident, please would you come to the gate and escort your child to your car.

Aigas Field Centre

On Thursday 7 May, P6/7 pupils and Mrs Gallacher went to Aigas Field Centre as part of their project on 'Being an Author'. They met local author, John Lister Kaye, and learned about about his work and travels.
