RBA P7 TRANSITION MAY 22

National Numeracy Virtual Workshop 

As you may be aware, the school is working with the charity National Numeracy to encourage families to do maths together.

We know that maths can sometimes seem daunting, but engaging positively with children’s learning can make a big difference to both children’s and parents’ confidence with numbers.

Therefore, we are inviting all parents to a unique workshop run by National Numeracy which will be held virtually on Monday 9^th May, 1.30pm – 2.30pm.  Click the link below to access the meeting.

Meeting ID: 898 7750 4363

Passcode: 808848

You can access this meeting at home.  Alternatively, you can access the meeting in school, where we will set up the virtual meeting in the numeracy room. If attending at school, please email lynsey.cowie@eastayrshire.org.uk or contact the school office on (01292) 591291, to confirm attendance.  This will ensure adequate seating for this event.

The workshop is not a maths lesson, nor does it teach any maths, but is focused on fostering positive attitudes towards numeracy and tips for ensuring your children develop these too.

The session will cover the importance of maths in the real world, being positive about maths and how to boost your own number skills.

We would be delighted to welcome you to the session.

Thanks,

Mrs Cowie

Much like last session, during this term the children will be covering outcomes within the Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood topic within Health and Wellbeing.

It is important that we keep you informed of sensitive topics we are covering and make you aware of what will be taught at Early, First and Second level.

The video below will provide you with all the information about RSHP and what will be covered at each level.

We hope you find this information useful when discussing these topics at home with your child.

PLEASE CAN YOU HELP US?

Make a difference to your wardrobe and a child’s life!

As part of their work towards achieving Rights Respecting Schools Gold accreditation, Drongan Primary School with the help of the RRS committee are supporting the Cash for Kids Wear, Share, Care campaign.

We are encouraging our community to come together and donate any unwanted clothes and textiles you may have. These can be brought to school in bags and will be weighed and collected by Rag Bag.  Every tonne collected will raise £400 for disadvantaged children.

Look out for our posters in the community!

Items that can be bagged and brought to school are;

Wearable Clothing

• Sports wear
• Suits
• Dresses
• Jackets
• Scarves
• Baby Clothes
• Handbags
• Belts
• Hats
• Paired shoes

(No uniforms or work clothes with logos please)

Please bring any bagged items to the front entrance of the school anytime before the 30th March.

Thank you for helping us raise as much money as we can for disadvantaged children and promoting the importance of recycling ahead of Global Recycling Day on 18th March.

The RRS Committee

Some  of our P3 and P5 pupils have had the opportunity over the last few weeks to explore and engage in some exciting, wider curricular activities.

The children have shown great team work and these activities have stimulated great discussion.

Making Pancakes

The children got the chance to measure their ingredients, whisk and stir the mixture, make and flip the pancakes on the griddle and prepare and add toppings. Don’t they look delicious?!

Making Modelling Dough

The children enjoyed watching the liquid turn into dough as it warmed up. They had a great time exploring the different textures and making their creations.

Weaving

What beautiful patterns the children created through their weaving. These were made into coasters, hanging decorations and gifts. Very talented children!
