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.

Healthy Eating at Tannochside

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.

Road Safety Roadshow

2 Comments

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?
