Scottish Poppy Appeal

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.

Wellbeing Check-in Term 1 2021/22

Now that we are few weeks into our new school year, and our pupils have had time to settle into their new classes,  we would like to ask them to complete a simple well-being check in form as part of their homework this week. Children will be told about this in school and shown the form.

This form will allow us to check how our pupils are feeling based on the 8 well-being indicators -Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible and Included.

This is a simple form that P4-7 children should be able to complete independently. However, we would encourage parents to sit alongside their P3 children as they complete this and support where needed.

Our P2 pupils will complete this in class.

Our new  P1 pupils won’t complete this activity until Term 3: giving them more time to learn about the wellbeing indicators.

If pupils could click on the link below to complete the form before Friday 1st October that would be much appreciated.
