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.

Glasgow Music Festival

Our School choir performed on Monday at the Glasgow Music Festival in the City Halls.  Mr. Clark, Mrs. Fullerton and Mrs. Robertson from the office accompanied the children and were so impressed with their fabulous rendition of “Humpty Dumpty was a Wonderful Guy” and “Sing”.  It took a lot of courage to sing in such a grand venue, in front of all of the other choirs, but as usual, Tannochside rose to the occasion.  Thanks to Mrs. McGregor, our Kodaly teacher who also conducts the choir.

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!
