The Sun has got it’s hat on…

We are all enjoying the lovely weather at the moment and many of the classes are working outside to make the most of it while it lasts.

The forecast says it’s due to last into next week.  It would be a good idea for children:

1. To wear a sunhat or cap to school (no football brands).

2. To get some sunscreen applied before coming to school, and maybe bringing some with them to put on themselves later on.

3. To bring a water bottle to school, filled with fresh water.

Easter Bonnet Competition

Today was our annual Easter Bonnet Parade.  All of the children were asked to create an Easter bonnet, crown or hat at home to wear to our service.  Each class selected a winner who was awarded with the prize of a chocolate Easter egg.

All of the pupils who entered put in a lot of effort – every idea was different and unique and so much time and thought had gone into making each one special.  Well done and thank you for making it so much fun!

World Book Day

Thursday March 1st was World Book Day.  Every pupil received a £1 gift voucher which they can use towards a book in most high-street book shops.

To celebrate this day, everyone was invited to dress up as their favourite book character.  A winner for best costume was chosen from each stage – they received a book and bookmark as a prize.  The staff also held a competition – Mr. Clark won for his Mr. Bump costume!

Thank you to everyone who worked together to make this such a memorable day.  Special thanks to Mrs. Fleck who organised it!

Library Books

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.

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.
