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.
Please contact Mrs Brown if you are able to help.
Thank you from Primary 4

The Easter holidays are here!
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!

Now that we have welcomed all our pupils back to school, we would like for 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 this week 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 the parents of our P1-3 children to sit alongside them as they complete this and support where needed.
If pupils could click on the link below to complete the form before Friday 2nd April that would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Tomorrow (19th March) we will be taking part in Red Nose Day activities to support Comic Relief. All of our children will get the chance to take part in different activities in school, which will raise awareness of the work the charity does to support people in need.
Children are encouraged to take part in a Dress Down Day, where they can:
We are asking for a donation to be made (suggested £1), which will be given to Comic Relief. This can either be made through Parent Pay or paid in cash on Friday.
“Funny is Power. Funny can change things. It can connect us. It can be the difference.”
As it is Comic Relief, we would love it if the children prepared a joke that they could share with their class and teachers. We will be sharing pictures from the day on twitter.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Today the staff and pupils are taking part in an Autism Awareness Day at Drongan PS.

On Friday of this week we are having an awareness day for Autism, which is being led by the DFS Inclusion Committee. We have prepared a daily plan for P1-3 and P4-7, full of activities and resources to explore that should help you and your child to gain a better understanding of Autism.
Primary 1-3 will be completing activities in school and P4-7 will complete them remotely. These resources can be found in the news section of the app or by following the link below to our blog where you will find the Sway presentation.
Please follow the link to the Blog for access to all the resources to support Autism Awareness Day.
We will be learning all about Autism and taking part in a range of activities. We have asked that you wear something to express yourself and do your hair in a crazy style. We want to celebrate the fact that we are all different so be as out there as you want! At the end of the day, please take some time to complete the questionnaires on the blog all about the activities today. Please also email photos of yourself taking part in any of today’s activities to Miss Smith.
Thank you,
The DFS Inclusion Committee
