Primary 6 Learning Blog

In class we were exploring the advantages and disadvantages of Disneyland Paris. We used the laptops to research some information, and we found more disadvantages than advantages for Disneyland Paris. Here are some of the disadvantages and advantages that we found.

DISADVANTAGES

Disney land Paris was built on farm land and the repairs and maintenance was paid by local peoples taxes.

ADVANTAGES

It brought millions of tourists to Paris and it brings lots of jobs plus the money is good for the economy.

We found it very interesting and we found out a bit more about Disneyland Paris and made us think differently than we thought before. At the end we had to write a persuasive report choosing whether we would be against or for Disney land.

We were surprised about the amount of people that went against Disneyland, only a few people were for it.

Primary 6 have been analysing poetry and finding out about authors’ use of language and it’s meaning. We decided to have a go and write our own poem called “Different but the Same”. Our poems were terrific and we re-wrote them on special paper. Don’t they look great!

Staff Update

It is with mixed emotions that we announce some changes to the staffing at Tannochside Primary from August 2012.

Mrs. Denney, our current Depute Head Teacher will be taking early retirement after a teaching career spanning over 30 years. We wish her all the best for a long and happy retirement.

Mrs. Henderson, a class teacher currently filling a Support for Learning role, will also take early retirement after a long career too. Our best wishes also go with her for a long and healthy future.

We are also sad to announce that Mrs. Paterson will be moving on as she has been appointed Head Teacher at Mossend Primary School in Bellshill. We know that she will make a wonderful Head Teacher!

Mr. Clark has been successful at interview to fill one of the Depute Head vacancies and Mrs. Shirley Queen from Allanton Primary, the other DHT vacancy.

Also, we are sad to announce that Miss Weir, Miss Ogston and Miss Baillie from the Nursery will also be leaving us at the summer.

Good wishes also go to Miss Bhopal who will be leaving Tannochside after 8 years to move to London.

Mrs Kearney has successfully secured a permanent teaching position with us – we are delighted that she will now remain at Tannochside. We are also delighted to announce that Miss Grenfell will be returning to Tannochside after securing a permanent post too.
