The Drongan Nature Club potatoes were harvested at the weekend, unfortunately not by the children. The total harvest was 120 potatoes weighing just over 3.3kg. The largest potato weighed 155g while the smallest (and there were several) weighed just 1 gram. The average weight of a single potato was 28g.
Yesterday saw the Drongan kids taking part in Mrs Coulter’s Garden Obstacle Course – lots of great ideas – and Mrs Mitchell’s ‘Find the Missing Partner’ (socks). Lots of great photos and videos came in for the blog. Today the kids have been challenged to try Mrs Bradley’s Ball Bounce and Mrs Glasgow’s Welly Toss.
Freya and Kayden, in P1 at Drongan Primary, have been working hard to practise their words containing this week’s new joined phoneme – ee.
Helping Hands bags of activities are all labelled for each Primary child in Drongan and sorted into streets, ready to go out on Monday! What a generous donation from the Coalfield Community to Helping Hands and the children of Drongan.

We’re lucky in Scotland. It’s a beautiful country with an abundance of wildlife. From otters to owls, swans to seals and badgers to beavers, we’re blessed with a rich, diverse range of wild animals. Challenge – research one of the wild animals on this page and create an animal fact file or PowerPoint presentation.
Kayden, in P1b, gathered coins from around the house and sorted them by value. He then used the coins to make the number of their value. What a great idea. Well done Kayden.
Today’s focus at Drongan Hub with Miss Adams was mindfulness. The children enjoyed doing some Cosmic Yoga and DIY tie-dying using pens, elastic bands and baby wipes! The results are fab.
Wow, what a busy day at Drongan Hub today! The kids, along with Mrs Brady and Mrs Hainey, were helping the ladies of Helping Hands to box up a selection of crafts for distribution to the primary children in Drongan. The crafts were donated by Coalfield Community.
Mrs Bradley, one of the Drongan teachers, with the help of her two boys showed us all how easy it is to make pancakes. Why not have a go yourself. Have a look:-
