Special Visitors for Primary 1

Primary 1 are learning about Welcoming a Baby in Christianity.  Last week, two special visitors came in especially to see all the boys and girls.  Mrs Fleck brought in her baby niece and young son.  All the children were really interested to find out about the baby’s Christening.  We got to see her beautiful Christening gown and were told about the day’s events.  Here are some pictures of the visit.

Road Safety Roadshow

We are all looking forward to our Road Safety Roadshow in partnership with Norbett Dentressangle. This event will take place on Monday 10th October at the top end of the school car park. All Primary classes will have the opportunity to visit the two vehicles and talk to the drivers about road/cycle safety.
Parents are very welcome to visit after 2.30pm on Monday as Norbett Dentressangle staff will be only too happy to show them around the lorries and discuss any aspect of Road Safety regarding HGVs and trailers on the roads. So why not come along and see what you can learn?

McMillan Coffee

Thanks to all the children who dressed down for McMillan. We were delighted at the huge turn out of parents and friends for our coffee afternoon. Everyone enjoyed the home baking and the school has to thank the school’s catering staff for providing all the delicious treats. It was a very busy afternoon with many pupils showing family and friends around the school.
We raised £717.92 which was a tremendous effort. Thanks to everyone for this very worthwhile cause.

Macmillan Coffee Morning

A huge thank you to all of the parents, grandparents and friends of the school who attended our Coffee Morning/Open Afternoon today.  We will let you know the total raised once it is finalised.

We were delighted with the turnout and the children just loved showing their families around the school.  It was a great opportunity for the school community to socialise – we hope you enjoyed meeting the teachers in an informal situation.

If you attended the event, we would love your feedback.  Please click here to leave a comment on the blog or email your thoughts to enquiries@tannochside.n-lanark.sch.uk

After the storm

Primary 1 are learning about Percy the Park keeper. He has lots of friends and has recently made a new home for them in a hollowed out oak tree because their last house was destroyed by the storm. Percy and his adventures have been helping us learn about changing seasons. We have used sponges to learn about printing using  lovely Autumn colours. Hands and leaves will also be used for printing a variety of pictures.

We have had a very busy few weeks learning about Autumn, including songs about harvest time and animals getting ready to hibernate.

Tannochside Eco Warriors

Tannochside Primary School is proud to announce their newly elected Eco Warriors.  There are representatives from every stage and we also have members from our nursery school, janitorial staff, school management members and some class teachers – more photos to be added!!  We have taken our first tentative steps towards our Eco Green Flag by conducting our checklist to evaluate where we are and where we want to go – but it will take lots of effort from everyone in the school and to be fair it is our long term objective/aim to achieve our Green Flag.  We promise to keep you updated on any initiatives we plan to introduce and hope to have your full support, and remember all great suggestions welcome.
