As promised we have pictures that capture the Literacy Assembly that took place on Friday.  Parents were informed of the week long activities that took place across the school and also got a chance to listen to some authors and illustrators who shared their stories.  All budding authors of the future.  At the end of the assembly parents and grandparents got the opportunity to read the wonderful stories that were on display around the hall. A fabulous week!!

Literacy Assembly Pr. 4 – 7

On Friday we continued our celebration of World Book Day.  After our attendance at First Friday Mass the boys and girls changed into their costumes that were based upon characters from the world of fiction.  It really was fantastic to see such a great response from pupils across the school.  Our Friday morning assembly involved the pupils of Pr. 4 – 7 who listened to a recap of the weeks events and then had a parade in their costumes.  We look forward to next week when the boys and girls across the school share the books they have written themselves in class.  We also have timetabled slots to visit the book fair.  A busy week ahead as always at St.Augustine’s.  As son as we have pictures of the Pr.1 – 3 assembly we will post them on the blog.
