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.

P7 TRANS DEC 20

“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 10^th December at the latest. Thank you. The DFS Inclusion Committee.

Logo Competition

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.

Thank you.

Miss Dyce & The JRSOs

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.

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…

Thank you to everyone who ordered cupcakes in support of the Scottish Poppy Appeal. Final orders were to be in for today and at our final count, Mrs Shields and her team have got 444 cupcakes to bake and decorate! This has helped raise an additional £222 for the Poppy Appeal, to go along with the money raised selling poppies.

We are still selling poppies, so if you or your child would like one, our P7s will be visiting classes for the next two mornings to collect any further donations. We will announce a final total on Wednesday 11th.

Thank you for supporting the Scottish Poppy Appeal.

We have created a new tab in the ‘Classes’ page on the school blog for our class termly overviews. You will be able to download the PDF overview from your child’s class to see what will be happening this term. We have also shared these on the school app.

Please see the new tab on our Blog (Christmas Fundraising) for up to date information about activities happening in the school. The Giant Teddy Raffle is just one activity we know the children are looking forward to!
