For World Book Day next Thursday, instead of being given a token for a free book that they must redeem themselves, the children will be able to choose one of the 2022 World Book Day books in school!

WH Smith have kindly supplied (in exchange for the tokens) the full selection of books for our children to choose from!

The DFS Inclusion Committee are going to set up a ‘Free Book Shop’ on WBD, where every child can go and select a book to take home! Here are the books available for different reading levels:

Beginning Reading

Early Reading

Fluent Reading

Independent Reading

We have invested in some new books for our Primary 1 classrooms to support pupils with any worries they may have about transition from our ECC to Primary 1.

In the attached letter you will find some updated information on the P7 transition arrangements for 2022 from Robert Burns Academy.

Drongan Primary will be supporting the Scottish Poppy Appeal again this year by selling poppies. From Monday 1st November, our P7 pupils will be visiting classes with the boxes of poppies and children are welcome to bring in a donation to put in the tin in exchange for a poppy to wear. They will continue visiting classes each day while we have poppies left.

Donations for the poppies will be placed in collecting tins before being donated to the Scottish Poppy Appeal.

Thank you for your support.
