Mrs. Denney just loves a good sing-along – so what better way to pay tribute to our retiring Depute Head that a good old Tannochside Shindig? Guess who got eaten by the Boa Constrictor?
We are all enjoying the lovely weather at the moment and many of the classes are working outside to make the most of it while it lasts.
The forecast says it’s due to last into next week. It would be a good idea for children:
1. To wear a sunhat or cap to school (no football brands).
2. To get some sunscreen applied before coming to school, and maybe bringing some with them to put on themselves later on.
3. To bring a water bottle to school, filled with fresh water.
With the help of some parents we are trying to re-organise our library and locate the books we have on our system.
If you have any old School Library Books lying around your house could you please return them to the school-no questions asked!
There will be a box in the library for all books to put into at a time convenient to the class. Thank you for your assistance with this.

School closes at 2.30pm tomorrow (Wednesday 21st December) for the Christmas holidays. On the last day of term, we are having a dress-down day. Children can come to school wearing their casual clothes for just £1 which will go towards school funds. Why not jazz up your outfit with a wee bit of Christmas sparkle?
School will reopen for everyone on Monday 9th January 2012. Have a lovely Christmas holiday from all at Tannochside.
The Pupil Council would like to thank all children, parents and friends who very kindly donated a gift to our Christmas Appeal this year. Mr Lyle collected all the gifts on Monday afternoon and was delighted with the number of gifts that we had received.
You have helped brighten up someone’s Christmas time this year. Once again, a big thank you to everyone who donated!
Merry Christmas and happy new year,
Pupil Council Team

This year the Pupil Council are supporting Viewpark Parish church’s Christmas Gift Appeal. The gifts donated will be given to less privileged children in our local area and help them to have a happier Christmas.
If you would like to help out here is what you can do:
* Next time you are Christmas shopping buy an extra gift (this does not have to be an expensive gift!).
* Wrap up your gift.
* Put a label on your gift and please say whether it is for a boy or a girl and what age it is suitable for.
* Bring your gift to school and give it to your Pupil Council class representative.
Your gifts will be collected, taken to the church and distributed.
All gifts must be in by FRIDAY 9TH DECEMBER 2011.
Thank you for all your support in helping make it a happier Christmas for everyone! Merry Christmas!
