Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
As of Monday 27th January Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will commence from 3pm – 4pm. The children from primary 4-7 who were involved before Christmas should come along to NQ1 for auditions. Mrs Lyle is also going to be working with the Primary 6 children on Monday mornings as they form the choir.
Fire Safety Talk
Today the Firefighters at Bellshill Fire Station joined Primary 6 to talk to them about Fire Safety. They showed us some video clips about how how quickly fires can spread and keeping safe in an emergency. We also learned about the importance of testing smoke detectors regularly and also having a fire evacuation plan. The important message we got today was:
Get out, Stay out and Phone the Fire Brigade out!
We even had a chance to look around the fire engine and the equipment it has on it. We learned lots and some of the equipment was very heavy too. Take a look at our pictures:
Philippines Typhoon Appeal
In order to support the millions of people who have been affected by the Typhoon in the Philippines, we would like to support the Philippines Typhoon Appeal.
We have decided to have a Onesie/Pajama day at school on Friday 29th November 2013. For just £1, the children can come dressed in their onesie or pajamas to show their support to this important issue. It’s also fine for the children to come in their casual clothes if they would prefer.
Please remember that this will be a normal school day, so the children will be going out to play at intervals. If the weather is cold, it would be a good idea to wear something warm under their pajamas and consider what they will wear outside.
You can find out more about the Philippine Typhoon Appeal and how the money they raise is being used at www.dec.org.uk
Considerate Car Parking
A number of visitors to our school require the use of the Disabled parking spaces at the bottom of the car park. We politely ask any drivers who do not hold a Blue Badge to use another area of the car park. This is particularly important at the end of the school day.
We also ask that those drivers who do hold a Blue Badge to display it prominently when parked in one of our marked bays.
Thank you for your consideration.
Bronze Awards
The majority of our pupils have earned their Bronze Award on the first week it was available which is a great achievement. We had a special fun afternoon today as a surprise for those children who have not lost any Golden time at all this year. All of the teachers planned fun activities such as dancing, painting, sport, pampering and lots more to say well done to the pupils for their excellent behaviour.
The certificates will be sent home soon – once the children have had an opportunity to show them off at assembly on Monday.
Scholastic Book Fair
Thank you for everyone who purchased a book at the school Book Fair this week. We sold £1890.27 worth of books which gives the school £1099.16 commission to spend on new books for the children to use.
Thank you so much to everyone who supported the school by purchasing something!

Fire Drill
What an exciting day it was at Tannochside today. The fire alarm rang during the lunch break and all of the boys and girls, and adults too, assembled on the pitch to wait for the fire engines to arrive and let us back in to the building.
The children were very quick at getting in to their correct places on the pitch and followed our fire drill plan perfectly. Thanks you to all of the nursery parents and family members who also helped with the drill.
