On Friday the kids at Drongan Hub made little pockets using felt and added messages inside. They took their pockets to the village pharmacy and hung them on the railings outside. The messages can now be take and read then replaced or swapped for new ones. What a lovely idea to maintain communication.
Grow Your Own Potatoes
Who knew this project would be such a challenge this year? The Nature Club kids planted their potatoes the week before Lock Down. The 6 tubs of potatoes and 3 bottles of ‘underground’ potatoes were then transported to my back garden. I am now 80 miles away caring for my dad and have left the potatoes with my husband who admits to not being a gardener. Thankfully only watering and photographs have been required so far. The good news is that the Drongan Nature Club potatoes are flourishing. Hopefully we’ll get a better crop this year.
Teddy Bears’ Picnic
Hannahston Woods could be the venue for a P1 task set by the teachers to hold a Teaddy Bears’ Picnic however, Harry held his picnic in the garden. The weather is perfect for such activities at the moment.
VE Day
The children attending Drongan Hub were learning about VE Day today and made some bunting to decorate the village.
30 Days Wild
Why not get organised and sign up for 30 Days Wild, a programme of activities for every day in June. Get outside (safely distanced of course), get wild and have fun. Plus it’s absolutely free, though you can make a donation to The Wildlife Trust should you wish to. Get online, copy the link into your browser and order your downloadable activity pack.

Starting Young
The toddler sister, Dalia, of P1 pupil, Carter, is joining in with home schooling.
Ugly Bugs
Megan and Ruby, who attend the after-school Nature Club, have created new bugs as part of the Forestry England Weekly Challenge. I wouldn’t fancy finding either bug in my bed!
Monday is Fish
Clearly there was a break with tradition at the Drongan Hub yesterday when the craft theme was one of fish – very large, colourful fish at that. The 7 kids present certainly looked as if they had fun.
It’s a Digital World
Harry, in P1a, got his Solar System stuff out on Friday then asked Alexa questions about Mars. Now that’s smart thinking.
