<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">Dreghorn Primary Parent Council(PC) would like to provide a trip for the whole school, this would be the first trip for years. &nbsp;Pupils and Parents have expressed their desire for a whole school trip but have alluded to the challenge posed by the current cost of living crisis.&nbsp; Not having a whole school trip is adversely effecting children of all ages and we want to ensure that finance is not a barrier. The PC are applying for funding to cover the cost for every child. We all have great memories of trips, we would like that for this generation. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">Outdoor learning is so important to make connections between school and the real world &ndash; bringing topics alive. The extensive benefits for health and wellbeing are also well documented.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">One pupil said &quot; I enjoy trips, they are very educational because you are in a new place, learning new things that you would never be able to see in school. Another pupil told us &quot; You get out all day to see things and its fun. I like a trip&nbsp;because you get to be with all your friends from the other classes and it can be good learning.</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

To help them Zen out, we would like to offer a club where pupils can bring their lunch and possibly use art and Design materials to creatively engage in mindful activities, such as ; drawing , painting , character design, fashion design, photography, printmaking and model making.</span></span></p>

<p>To support the children&#39;s mental health and well-being we are looking to purchase outdoor equipment to encourage outdoor play. This will have a positive impact physically and mentally for the children and will allow a more fun approach to learning.</p> <p>We would also like to put &pound;150 towards to cost of free school discos for all the children to attend and enjoy.</p>
