Drongan Primary School Newsletter – January 2025

Pupils from our winning house for this term, Afton, enjoyed a special reward yesterday.  We arranged a silent disco for the house winning pupils and they all had a great time.

I would like to thank Smith’s Coaches for kindly purchasing the token tube machine and tokens for the school.  This has been part of the relaunch of the house reward system, and the children love being awarded house points and putting them in the token tubes.  We are also going to have a Smith’s Coaches House Reward trophy or shield that will be awarded at Prize Giving.  This will be presented to the winning house over the course of the year and will be separate from the Village Store House Sport’s Cup awards.

Starting in January we will be taking part in East Ayrshire’s Shoot to Saturn campaign. We will be encouraging our children to actively travel to school by walking, scooting or cycling.

If children travel to school by any of these methods they will earn S-miles each day. These will be calculated each week with a winning ‘Active Traveller’ class being announced. If children are not able to walk, cycle or scoot to school, we will make a circuit available at playtime for them to earn S-miles.

Please see the attached letter for more information.

We hope to see lots of active travellers in terms 3 and 4.

Following a very successful swap shop at Halloween, we are now kindly asking for any unwanted Christmas Jumpers, t-shirts or dresses, to be donated ahead of Christmas.

These will be available (for free) at our Christmas Fayre and Christmas shows.

Thank you,  in advance, for your support.

We celebrated  World Children’s Day today by taking part in a whole school online assembly with many other schools across Scotland. We learned about the importance of climate change and how this links to Children’s rights.

Today also marks the birthday of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child; which has recently became a part of Scottish law.

Having heard from other children across Scotland leading climate change campaigns, this has inspired us to encourage our community to take action!

Last month we supported the Ayrshire Hospice as part of their Go Purple Day. In school the children took part in a ‘wear something purple’ theme, as well as lots of activities in classes. We also had a ‘purple cupcake’ tuckshop at break. All of the activities raised an incredible £550 for the Hospice. Thank you for your support!

Thank you for the kind donations towards the Scottish Poppy Appeal. We managed to raise £80 through the sale of poppies in school.
