Christmas Dress Down Day
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.
Carols by Candlelight
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.
Breakfast Club – Mask Making
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:

Christmas Gift Appeal December 2011
This year the Pupil Council are supporting Viewpark Parish church’s Christmas Gift Appeal. The gifts donated will be given to less privileged children in our local area and help them to have a happier Christmas.
If you would like to help out here is what you can do:
* Next time you are Christmas shopping buy an extra gift (this does not have to be an expensive gift!).
* Wrap up your gift.
* Put a label on your gift and please say whether it is for a boy or a girl and what age it is suitable for.
* Bring your gift to school and give it to your Pupil Council class representative.
Your gifts will be collected, taken to the church and distributed.
All gifts must be in by FRIDAY 9TH DECEMBER 2011.
Thank you for all your support in helping make it a happier Christmas for everyone! Merry Christmas!
Pupil Council Team
