We have some fabulous pieces of work this week including figurative language, research and summaries.
Take a look at our terrific work! Well Done Primary 4 & 5
Wedding Day
Bay 17 and Bay 19 have been learning about weddings in Christianity. We decided that it would be great fun if we had a mock wedding of our own. So on Monday we visited Burnhead Parish Church and our bride and groom were ‘married’ by Mr Brunger. Then on Wednesday we visited Viewpark Parish Church and our bride and groom were ‘married’ by Mr Lyle. Afterwards we went back to school to have our reception. We performed the first dance, the bride threw her bouquet and we cut the cake and everyone had a great time.
Road Safety Roadshow
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?
McMillan Coffee
Thanks to all the children who dressed down for McMillan. We were delighted at the huge turn out of parents and friends for our coffee afternoon. Everyone enjoyed the home baking and the school has to thank the school’s catering staff for providing all the delicious treats. It was a very busy afternoon with many pupils showing family and friends around the school.
We raised £717.92 which was a tremendous effort. Thanks to everyone for this very worthwhile cause.
The book fair’s coming….
…soon!
Macmillan Coffee Morning
A huge thank you to all of the parents, grandparents and friends of the school who attended our Coffee Morning/Open Afternoon today. We will let you know the total raised once it is finalised.
We were delighted with the turnout and the children just loved showing their families around the school. It was a great opportunity for the school community to socialise – we hope you enjoyed meeting the teachers in an informal situation.
If you attended the event, we would love your feedback. Please click here to leave a comment on the blog or email your thoughts to enquiries@tannochside.n-lanark.sch.uk
After the storm
Primary 1 are learning about Percy the Park keeper. He has lots of friends and has recently made a new home for them in a hollowed out oak tree because their last house was destroyed by the storm. Percy and his adventures have been helping us learn about changing seasons. We have used sponges to learn about printing using lovely Autumn colours. Hands and leaves will also be used for printing a variety of pictures.
We have had a very busy few weeks learning about Autumn, including songs about harvest time and animals getting ready to hibernate.
New term for Primary 4
We have been working hard and settling in to the Junior department. We have been doing a lot of revision for maths and have used some fun games to practice our addition, subtraction and times tables. The 4x table is this week’s ‘Table of the Week’. Our topic this term is ‘Scotland’ and we will be using maps and computers to find information.
Exploring Autumn
Primary 2 have been very busy learning about seasons as part of our science topic. They have been exploring autumn in our ‘outdoor classroom.’ All children gathered leaves outdoors to create colour palettes. Some of the trees in our playground are still green but we will be keeping a close eye on them over the next couple of weeks. Everyone had a great time!
P6 have a Taste of France
P6 have been working on an interdisciplinary topic about France. The children have looked at various aspects of the country and recently enjoyed an afternoon of tasting food produced in France. They had the opportunity to try numerous different foods, including; croissants, pain au chocolate, baguettes, pate, crepes, Camembert cheese, grapes and grape juice. Please have a look at our photographs.
