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.
Thank you to everyone who recently donated old clothes and items back in November. We managed to raise £130 for school funds.
The children in Primary 2 have started a new science topic, Energy. Everyone is working very hard, listening well and enjoying it so far. This week we have been carrying out science experiments. We were investigating heat energy. We were testing to see if wrapping bubble wrap around a jar made any difference to the temperature of the water, compared to a jar without bubble wrap. We used a thermometer to test the temperature. We found that bubble wrap helped to keep the heat energy in the jar. We will be carrying out more experiments in the next few weeks. Exciting stuff!
Please have a look at pictures of Bay 2 hard at work. They have been busy over the last few months. You will see some examples of collage work, 3D pumpkin heads, charcoal work, dodgeball, our learning about wildlife and the Harvest Festival, along with photographs of our visit from ND Haulage.
Primary 2 had a fantastic time at their party. They danced, sang, played games, had treats and even met Santa! They all looked lovely, wearing their best party clothes.

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.
Tannochside Primary was full of Christmas cheer tonight as we opened our doors for “Carols by Candlelight”. Soloists, groups and the choir entertained their audience with a wide range of songs, from traditional carols and calypso music to popular Christmas songs and hyms. They were accompanied superbly by Mrs Lyall on the piano and the Viewpark church band. Mrs McGregor, our Kodaly teacher, generoulsy gave of her time to conduct the choir.
Thank you to all of the parents, relatives and friends of the school who came along on the night to support the children. If you attended, tell us what you thought of the show by clicking on the title of this post and then scrolling to the bottom to submit a comment.
We are so lucky to have a very well run Breakfasy club. Mrs. McGhee, a parent helper, organises lots of games and activities for the children to take part in.
Today the children were making masks:
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
