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.
Please follow the link to the Blog for access to all the resources to support Autism Awareness Day.
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.
Miss Smith has created a ‘virtual calm corner’ that’s full of links and resources that children can use to take care of their wellbeing. The resources range from feelings cards to funny jokes! Please click on the link below to access the resources.
Tomorrow we are having an awareness day for Dyscalculia. Miss Smith has prepared a daily plan for P1-3 and P4-7, full of activities and resources to explore. Our DFS Inclusion Committee are excited to explore different topics with you as they focus on inclusion as their main priority.
Below you will find links to the planners, resources, questionnaires and videos that should help you and your child to gain a better understanding of Dyscalculia. Please remember to fill out the feedback form to let us know what you thought of the activities. Thank you!
Please see the attached letter from The Robert Burns Academy regarding transition for our P7 pupils. We will continue to update you with information about transition activities in the new year.
“East Ayrshire’s Dyslexia Friendly School Accreditation Pathway has been rebranded as “East Ayrshire’s Inclusive Practice (DFS) Accreditation Pathway”. To support this rebranding we are looking to schools to help us create a brand new logo to reflect the new name and the broader theme of inclusion met through dyslexia friendly and inclusive practices.”
Drongan PS are encouraging our children to submit a new design for this Logo competition using the sheet attached. We will choose 3 entries from this competition to represent the school, but will also choose our own winner to become our new DFS Inclusive Practice logo for our gold accreditation journey and beyond. East Ayrshire’s old logo can be seen above. Entries MUST be submitted by Thursday 10th December at the latest. Thank you. The DFS Inclusion Committee.
Tomorrow the JRSO Committee will be having a ‘Be Safe Be Seen’ day. We are encouraging children to come to school wearing bright clothing or accessories, helping East Ayrshire to raise awareness of Road Safety. The JRSO Committee have provided classes with resources to support ‘Be Safe Be Seen’ day.
Please note this is an optional activity and if pupils are not able to wear bright clothing or accessories, they can come to school in their uniform as normal. We are not collecting any donations tomorrow, as the purpose of the day is to raise awareness of road safety and support our JRSO Committee with their work.
We are going to be posting our class homework plans on the school blog each week. They will be posted by Monday evening each week, allowing teachers to finalise spelling words and other activities with pupils on the first day of each week.
To access the homework plans, please go to the ‘classes’ tab on the blog and select the relevant class for your child. You will then be able to click on the link to the weekly plan.

Our P7s walked to the memorial bench to observe a 2 minutes silence. They laid down stones that they have decorated and personalised.
We would like to thank you for your support of the Scottish Poppy Appeal. We raised £390 for this wonderful charity. The P7 pupils raised £155 by selling poppies and the poppy cupcakes made by Mrs Shields raised an incredible £235. Thank you again and keep an eye out for the tribute from our P7 pupils that we will post on twitter and the blog later…
