Following a very successful swap shop at Halloween, we are now kindly asking for any unwanted Christmas Jumpers, t-shirts or dresses, to be donated ahead of Christmas.

These will be available (for free) at our Christmas Fayre and Christmas shows.

Thank you,  in advance, for your support.

We celebrated  World Children’s Day today by taking part in a whole school online assembly with many other schools across Scotland. We learned about the importance of climate change and how this links to Children’s rights.

Today also marks the birthday of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child; which has recently became a part of Scottish law.

Having heard from other children across Scotland leading climate change campaigns, this has inspired us to encourage our community to take action!

Last month we supported the Ayrshire Hospice as part of their Go Purple Day. In school the children took part in a ‘wear something purple’ theme, as well as lots of activities in classes. We also had a ‘purple cupcake’ tuckshop at break. All of the activities raised an incredible £550 for the Hospice. Thank you for your support!

Thank you for the kind donations towards the Scottish Poppy Appeal. We managed to raise £80 through the sale of poppies in school.

 

This week is Anti-Bullying Week.

This year’s theme is ‘Choose Respect’

This week,  children will learn more about what it means to be respectful to others and why this is important. They will talk about what bullying is and what help they can get if they or someone they know is experiencing bullying.

Mutual Respect is one of our school values here at Drongan Primary. Please help us to continue to foster and encourage  respectful behaviour in our pupils.

The link below will give you more information on bullying. Please take time to speak to your children about any concerns they may have.

Christmas Fayre 2024

A huge well done to our P4/5 class for their wonderful class assembly presentation about The Vikings.

 

It was a pleasure to be involved in the opening ceremony of The Kenneth Clarke Community Garden on Friday 27th September.  It was an excellent event organised by Drongan Grassroots, and supported by many important people and organisations from across the authority.

We were extremely proud of the children from Drongan Primary who read poems that they had written, and also of our choir who sang at the event.

Thank you to Drongan Grassroots who have supported us and worked together to make this happen.  Also, thank you to our Parent Council who supported us in order to access some of the funding.  And to J R Garden Solutions for doing such a great job of landscaping the garden.

A huge thanks to Kenneth’s family, who have been so supportive to the school over the years.  It really is a fitting tribute for this wonderful resource to be named after Kenneth.
