Eco Warrior – Recycling in the Dining Hall

2 Comments

As a school, we have been recycling paper and card for years as part of our effort to be Eco-friendly.  The Eco-Warrior committee is taking this good work one step further by introducing recycling bins into the dining hall.  Children can now recycle plastic cartons and bottles, yoghurt pots, tin foil and much more.

The Eco Warriors are helping out in the dining hall with the sorting of the litter.  This will take us one step closer to earning our Green Eco Flag.

Fire Safety Visit

Two local Fire fighters came along to assembly last week to talk to the children about fire safety in preparation for Bonfire Night.  They spoke about what to wear to keep safe and advised us to attend professional, organised fireworks displays.  They had a very entertaining presentation involving some of the pupils dressing up as fire fighters.  Our two work experience students also demonstrated Stop-Drop-Roll techniques dressed in fire fighter’s uniforms.

Welcome Back

We hope you enjoyed the October holiday.  It’s lovely to see all of the children back at school and ready for a term of hard work and interesting learning.

As you will already know, Mrs. Denney has taken up a temporary post of acting Head Teacher at Kilsyth Primary.  We are delighted that Mrs Ferrie has been able to take on the role of acting Deputy Head in Mrs Denney’s absence.

Parent’s evening is fast approaching – it is on 3rd November 2011.  If you have not returned your appointment slip yet, please do so immediately to get the time that you want..  We will try our hardest to give everyone a time that suits and we will make sure that family appointments are placed together.  Don’t forget that the book fair will be in the school hall during the evening – please support us by buying a book – we receive 60p for every £1 spent.

Our Parent Council Hallowe’en disco will take place this Thursday.  It’s not too late to buy tickets!

News from Mrs Denney

I have been asked by the authority to become Acting Head Teacher at Kilsyth Primary School to cover the Head Teacher’s absence until Christmas. I will miss being at Tannochside next term but will be back in the New Year. I know all the boys and girls will be working hard with their teachers and I will look forward to hearing all their news and achievements when I return.

Road Safety Roadshow

The entire school had a fabulous time learning about Road Safety with members of staff from Norbet Dentressangle haulage company.  Two massive HGV lorries were parked in our car park all day and every class got to look round them.  The teachers had the difficult job of clambeing up in to the cabs to find out just how difficult it is to see pedestrians and other road users if they come too close to the lorries.

The company also donated gifts for each child and prizes for a competition.  Thank you very much to the three staff members from Norbert Dentressangle for a wonderful experience.
