Following on from our successful ‘Dress to Express’ Day, we are continuing to learn more about equality and diversity as part of February’s Diversity Awareness Month.
In class, your children will learn more about these terms through a variety of activities and discussions.
To help your children accept themselves and others as they are, this picture book about diversity will help them to respect all the differences that make us unique.
Please enjoy reading it together.
Friday is Dress to Express Day at Drongan Primary School. As you may know, this week we are supporting and raising awareness of Children’s Mental Health. Supported by Place2Be the theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week is ‘My Voice Matters’.
Pupils and staff are asked to help raise awareness on Friday, 2nd February by dressing to express. You may choose to dress in your favourite colour. You might choose a colour which expresses how you’re feeling or wear your hair in a certain way. Either way, Friday is Dress to Express Day and your chance to express yourself!
As you know, it has never been more important to support our pupils’ mental health and wellbeing. We all play an important role. If you would like to check out Place2Be’s free resources, please visit their website.
We are excited to be holding another ‘Let’s Connect’ wellbeing afternoon as part of Children’s Mental Health Week.
Your are invited into school with your child/children on Wednesday 31st of January from 1.30pm-2.45pm. There will be lots of fun activities on offer and all we are asking for is a small donation of a £1 to support Place 2 Be Children’s Mental Health Charity.
Please complete the online Glow form in the link below to allow us to plan activities according to numbers.

In school this month, we will be talking about the different kinds of bullying, how bullying makes people feel and what you can do to help if you see someone being bullied.
Please talk about bullying at home with your children and have a look on the website below for activities and ideas to try at home.

We are delighted to let you know that we have achieved GOLD accreditation for our Rights Respecting School Award.
All staff and children have worked very hard to achieve this but a special thanks has to go out to our RRS committee and supporters who spoke to the accreditors on the day, and represented the school brilliantly!
Well done everyone!
We are very excited to be welcoming our new guinea pigs to the school this week. Our children have been working hard to create the perfect new home for them.
All children will be given the opportunity to come and see the guinea pigs and handling will be introduced very slowly to ensure both the children and guinea pigs feel comfortable and safe.
Please complete the form below to let us know whether you give consent for your child/children to handle the guinea pigs.
We are continuing our campaign to reduce traffic and air pollution around our school and in the community. We would love to see more of our children, walking, cycling and scooting to school.
This is healthier for our children and the environment.
Global Goals
Remember to wear a helmet!
During the next two weeks classes will take part in UNICEF’s Outright campaign. This campaign empowers children and young people to realise their own rights, and speak out in support of the rights of all children. This year, focuses on Article 24 (the right to the best possible healthcare).
Children will access learning activities and presentations in class that will help them understand more about their rights.
Please ask them all about what they are learning!
