As a Gold Health Promoting School, we encourage the children to make healthy choices when it comes to food. This year, Mrs Burke has organised a Fruit Point system. For every piece of fresh fruit eaten by a pupil during the school day, they earn one point. The person with the most points in each Bay at the end of the month wins some exotic fruit to enjoy.
We are very lucky to be supported by Morrisons supermarket in Bellshill with this initiative, who gift the fruit prizes every month.
This term we have been learning different Drama conventions, including Narration, Role Play and Freeze Frame. We enjoyed listening to the story of The Enormous Turnip. We then created our own puppet masks and used them to re-enact and sequence the story in our groups. Here are some pictures of us being very dramatic!
We have been learning about changing seasons through the context of a farm. Mrs McGregor has a friend who is a farmer on the Isle of Iona in Scotland. This week we wrote letters to Farmer John to ask him lots of questions. We hope he will reply to us soon and maybe send us some photographs.
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?
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.
…soon!
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
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!
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.
We are closed on Friday 23rd and Monday 26th September 2011. School and nursery class re-open as normal on Tuesday 27th September 2011.
Have a lovely holiday!
