Golden Day 2013

Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed the annual Golden Day to celebrate their excellent behaviour throughout the year.  Children who had earned their gold award took part all day, silver children joined in from interval and bronze pupils enjoyed the afternoon activity.

We had a whole range of activities in the morning:

  • Face-painting, tattoos, hairspray and nail bar.
  • Cake decorating
  • iPad games
  • Giant outdoor games and the assault course
  • Birds of Prey display.

In the afternoon, we were entertained by a fabulous production of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.  Well done to all of the children who followed the Golden Rules this year to earn their certificate.

Red Nose Day and World Book Day 2013

Today we supported a combined Comic Relief/World Book Day at Tannochside.  Everyone was asked to dress as a character from a book, or to dress down in something red to raise money which will be donated to Comic Relief.   Everyone got into the spirit, with some excellent ideas for costumes.  The staff held their own competition, with Miss O’Neill winning an excellent Red Reading Hamper.  Each class had a fancy dress winner, each receiving a World Book day book.  We finished the day with a fun assembly to celebrate our successes and to think about why we help towards this important charity.  Thank you to each family who donated.

Fruit Points.

Thanks to our partnership with Morrisons superstore in Bellshill, the children are enjoying a range of fruity delights when they win their classes fruit points.  The collection of fruit which the children can choose  from is greatly appreciated with some children selecting a bag with 3 or 4 different types of fruit.

Here you can see pictures  of last month’s winners but we would like to see some different faces each month.  We currently have 33% of the children bringing a healthy snack with them, but as a health promoting school we would like to at least double this figure.  Please continue to support us by packing a delicious, healthy snack for you child to enjoy.

Every time they bring a healthy snack, they can take a fruit point and every month a winner from each class is selected.

Burns’ Assembly

Remember that our Burns’ assembly takes place this Friday, January 25th (Robert Burn’s birth date).  All of the classes have been practicing songs and poems to celebrate the life of Scotland’s favourite son.

All friends and family of Tannochside are welcome to join us.  It will start at 9.30am in the Assembly Hall.  Please join us for some Shortbread and a cuppa!
