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.
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.
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:
In maths today P7b have done some time. We have done how long it takes to do 30 starjumps, the lowest time was 11 seconds. P7b have also learned how to write down stopwatch times.
The Pupil Council would like to thank all children, parents and friends who very kindly donated a gift to our Christmas Appeal this year. Mr Lyle collected all the gifts on Monday afternoon and was delighted with the number of gifts that we had received.
You have helped brighten up someone’s Christmas time this year. Once again, a big thank you to everyone who donated!
Merry Christmas and happy new year,
Pupil Council Team

Rationing started on the 7th of January 1940. All sorts of things were rationed like clothes, foods and furniture. Here are some examples of foods that were rationed : butter, eggs, bacon, meats and more. Rationing lasted 14 years and was introduced because as the war was on we couldn’t import foods and essential goods. In 1941 clothes were introduced to rationing. Dig for victory was a campaign to say that you could grow vegetables in your garden so that factories weren’t running out. Rationing ended in 1954 and people tore up there ration books to celebrate.
