We hope that you enjoyed the weather over the Bank Holiday weekend. With the sunshine and warm temperatures forecast to remain with us for a few days, we would like to ask that your child/children have sunscreen applied before they attend school or nursery, and/or bring a sun hat with them for additional protection while outside. They are welcome to bring sunscreen to school to top up as necessary, but they will need to be able to do this independently. As always, we encourage children to bring a water bottle to school with them, which they will be able to refill as required.
Children will be enjoying the outdoor environment more frequently as the weather improves, with their teachers using spaces around the school to enhance learning experiences.
Yesterday all of our pupils took part in a sponsored skip to help raise funds for the P7 Micro-Tyco project. The day was a huge success and the kind donations of our parents/carers has allowed us to raise a great sum of money that will be put towards buying games and activities for the playgrounds, as well as new resources to support our curriculum. Next week P7 will share their Micro-Tyco total. We have added some pictures below, but more have been added to the P7 Class Blog (follow the link). Thanks again for your continued support.
Next week (17th – 21st May) we will be taking part in Walk to School Week. We are encouraging all our pupils to walk, cycle, scooter or park and stride to school. Throughout the week all pupils will be introduced to our superheroes who will tell them their own walking superpower.
There are many reasons that we should walk to school, find out why;
This week our pupils will take a pledge to walk to school as much as they can next week. Please help them do this by encouraging them.
Primary 7 will be running a stationery shop for their Micro-Tyco enterprise topic next week (from Monday 10th – Friday 14th). If you follow the link below you will find pictures that show some of the items that will be in the shop, and even more will be added by Monday.
Prices will be between 10p and £2. Pupils will get a chance to visit each day if they have money and the shop will be restocked with popular items so that children don’t miss out. Thank you in advance for your support.
For autistic people like me, the world can be a terrifying place. Sometimes sounds feel like my head is exploding. Clothes feel like my skin is burning. And when a tiny thing changes, it feels like my world is ending.
Sometimes I get too much information. And if you only see a naughty kid, you haven’t got enough. #AutismTMI

This term Primary 4 are taking part in a Heritage Hero Award about ‘Our village Drongan’. We need information or photographs about Drongan in the past. If there is someone you know who was a miner or knows about Mining Life or anything at all can you please send us photographs or a short video telling us about it? Our final presentation will be posted for all to see.
Our school meals menus are changing from 19 April 2021 and will run on a three weekly cycle (see attached menus below). Please note that we will be on Week 2 from Monday 26th April.
The price of a standard two course meal in all schools is £2.15. Please remember that all children in P1-3 are entitled to a free school meal.
At the moment we have reduced our menus slightly, but where available we will continue to use organic, local and seasonal produce and have designated meat-free days.
All our main meals/snacks are served with two fresh seasonal vegetables/fresh salad and a piece of fruit
Every day we offer a pick and mix sandwich option, salad dishes, yoghurt, fresh fruit and free bread
All meat on offer is sourced from local butchers with our chicken Red Tractor assured halal meat
Huge well done to the boys and girls and their families that took part in our Easter Community Orienteering Challenge organised by the RRS/Health Committee.
Jandre Coetzee P1a, Jackson Stevens P1a, Finlay Muir P1b, Seren Anderson P1b, Darcie Mair P1b, Harry Irwin P2a, Riley Smith P3a, Jessica Gemmell P4, Jayden Smith P5 and Ava Kiltie P5.
The Rights Respecting school committee were out and about in Drongan today taking pictures in and around our community.
We have put all the pictures together and we are encouraging you to get together with your friends or family and go on an orienteering hunt around the village to find the images. When you find them, tick them off and take a picture or a selfie of you at the spot. Some are trickier than others!
