We have some fabulous pieces of work this week including figurative language, research and summaries.
Take a look at our terrific work! Well Done Primary 4 & 5
Primary 2 have been very busy learning about seasons as part of our science topic. They have been exploring autumn in our ‘outdoor classroom.’ All children gathered leaves outdoors to create colour palettes. Some of the trees in our playground are still green but we will be keeping a close eye on them over the next couple of weeks. Everyone had a great time!
In primary 4 we have all investigated Scotland using computers. This week our Red group have produced magnificent posters for their new reading book Midnight Pig. We are looking forward to our mums, dads and grandparents visiting us on Friday 30th September, to take part in our MacMillan Coffee morning. We would also like to thank all of the Mum’s and Dad’s who have come along every Friday to help with our Golden Time.
In primary 4 our weekly homework will be Monday pyramid spelling Tuesday maths Wednesday making sentences from our monday pyramid spelling Thursday will vary according to our topic.
What is Pyramid spelling? !! first write out the word, then split the word letter by letter, e.g. spelling s, sp, spe, spel, spell, spelli, spellin, spelling. Finally returning to the original word.
Our Gym day is Tuesday, all children should bring a polo shirt and shorts.
North Lanarkshire has a dedicated Literacy Base where teachers can go for the latest training on reading, writing and spelling. Our school was invited to create a wall display at the Base for teachers to get ideas and inspiration and to see the excellent work of our school.
Primary 5-7’s writing work was used to create an excellent display! We will be the toast of North Lanarkshire.
The annual P7 Leavers’ Party took place this evening. The theme was a beach party and the children really dressed the part. The partied to the excellent DJ, enjoyed the chocolate fountain, ice-cream station and lots and lots of sweet treats!
Thank you to all of the teachers, parents and friends of the school who helped out – and extra special thanks to all of the parents who came to set up the hall and sent in items for the party.

Our Primary 7 pupils were the VIP guests at the annual awards service today. Four children in Primary 7 were presented with a special reward, recognising their outstanding talents and abilities:
The children were presented with their leaving gift from the school, an Uddingston Grammar tie and a CD of photographs from Kilbowie.
The Parents’ Association gifted every pupil with a scientific calculator, which was presented by the Chairperson, Mrs Steele.
Mr. Stark opened and closed the service with a resounding chorus on the Bagpipes.
Thank you very much to all parents who attended and helped make it such a memorable event. Thanks also goes to Mr. McKay, Mr. Lyall and Miss Roy who also accepted our invitation to attend.
We had an unannounced Fire drill practice on Tuesday afternoon. All of the staff and children left the building in just over 1 minute – an impressive figure for over 500 people! We assembled on the all weather pitch and Mrs. Bryson said how pleased she was. The children walked out of the building quickly but safely and calmly. Well done to all the pupils!
We were inspected by HMIe in the last week of January 2011. They visited our class bays, spoke with the children and staff and observed all of the excellent work and events that happen in our school community. They also invited staff, pupils and some parents to share their view of Tannochside Primary through questionnaires. We are delighted with the very positive report and as a result, HMIe will not return in connection with this inspection.
What did HMIe say were Tannochside Primary School’s strengths
