This week will be a busy week for everyone at St.Augustine’s as we prepare for Easter. Children are encouraged to attend morning Mass at 8.30am in St.Augustine’s Church. The whole school will attend morning Mass on Thursday at 10.00am. We invite our parents and grandparents to join us for the service and kindly invite everyone to join us in school for a Daffodil Tea afterwards.
We aim to inform everyone of the total that was raised throughout Lent and the charities that will benefit from the great work and activities that took place thanks to the great efforts of teachers and children and the support of parents.
Children will be busy at home preparing and creating Easter bonnets for our traditional Easter Bonnet Parade (Pr.1 – 3) on Wednesday morning. Parents/Grandparents are invited to join us. Prizes will be awarded for the best bonnets in each class. For pupils Pr.4 – 7 a challenge has been set to create a decorated egg in class. This activity will take place in the morning with children getting the opportunity to display their eggs for judging in the afternoon. The whole school will get together on Wednesday afternoon for a whole school assembly. Unfortunately due to numbers the afternoon assembly will be for pupils only.
Some of our Pr.4 pupils will be going out of school on Tuesday to attend a Netball Fun 5’s Festival. We wish them well and feel very confident that they will represent St.Augustine’s beautifully.
Please note the school will close at 2.30pm on Thursday 2nd April and will re-open on Monday 20th April.
