Warm Weather
We hope that you enjoyed the weather over the Bank Holiday weekend. With the sunshine and warm temperatures forecast to remain with us for a few days, we would like to ask that your child/children have sunscreen applied before they attend school or nursery, and/or bring a sun hat with them for additional protection while outside. They are welcome to bring sunscreen to school to top up as necessary, but they will need to be able to do this independently. As always, we encourage children to bring a water bottle to school with them, which they will be able to refill as required.
Children will be enjoying the outdoor environment more frequently as the weather improves, with their teachers using spaces around the school to enhance learning experiences.
Sponsored Skip
Yesterday all of our pupils took part in a sponsored skip to help raise funds for the P7 Micro-Tyco project. The day was a huge success and the kind donations of our parents/carers has allowed us to raise a great sum of money that will be put towards buying games and activities for the playgrounds, as well as new resources to support our curriculum. Next week P7 will share their Micro-Tyco total. We have added some pictures below, but more have been added to the P7 Class Blog (follow the link). Thanks again for your continued support.

SCHOOL LUNCH MENUS
The price of a standard two course meal in all schools is £2.15. Please remember that all children in P1-3 are entitled to a free school meal.

- All our main meals/snacks are served with two fresh seasonal vegetables/fresh salad and a piece of fruit
- Every day we offer a pick and mix sandwich option, salad dishes, yoghurt, fresh fruit and free bread
- All meat on offer is sourced from local butchers with our chicken Red Tractor assured halal meat
Active Schools Spring into Sport
Please see the attached poster for further information of Active Schools outdoors Easter holiday sessions – in partnership with Drongan United. Booking is essential via the Smart survey link below. Please do one form per child.

Once you have filled in the smart survey that confirms your child’s place. If the smart survey is closed it unfortunately means all places are taken.
Much appreciated thanks!

Red Nose Day
Tomorrow (19th 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.
What is autism?
Today the staff and pupils are taking part in an Autism Awareness Day at Drongan PS.
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. One in 100 people are on the autism spectrum and there are around 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK.
