This term Primary 4 are taking part in a Heritage Hero Award about ‘Our village Drongan’. We need information or photographs about Drongan in the past. If there is someone you know who was a miner or knows about Mining Life or anything at all can you please send us photographs or a short video telling us about it? Our final presentation will be posted for all to see.

Please contact Mrs Brown if you are able to help.

Thank you from Primary 4

Tomorrow (19^th March) we will be taking part in Red Nose Day activities to support Comic Relief. All of our children will get the chance to take part in different activities in school, which will raise awareness of the work the charity does to support people in need.

Children are encouraged to take part in a Dress Down Day, where they can:

• celebrate being a hero (dress up as their favourite character who is a hero to them)
• dress up a bit silly (think odd socks & shoes, different coloured clothes or a funny hairstyle), or
• just come to school in casual clothes

We are asking for a donation to be made (suggested £1), which will be given to Comic Relief. This can either be made through Parent Pay or paid in cash on Friday.

“Funny is Power. Funny can change things. It can connect us. It can be the difference.”

As it is Comic Relief, we would love it if the children prepared a joke that they could share with their class and teachers. We will be sharing pictures from the day on twitter.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Today the staff and pupils are taking part in an Autism Awareness Day at Drongan PS.

On Friday of this week we are having an awareness day for Autism, which is being led by the DFS Inclusion Committee. We have prepared a daily plan for P1-3 and P4-7, full of activities and resources to explore that should help you and your child to gain a better understanding of Autism.

Primary 1-3 will be completing activities in school and P4-7 will complete them remotely. These resources can be found in the news section of the app or by following the link below to our blog where you will find the Sway presentation.

We will be learning all about Autism and taking part in a range of activities. We have asked that you wear something to express yourself and do your hair in a crazy style. We want to celebrate the fact that we are all different so be as out there as you want! At the end of the day, please take some time to complete the questionnaires on the blog all about the activities today. Please also email photos of yourself taking part in any of today’s activities to Miss Smith.

Thank you,
