I was delighted this afternoon to receive a visit from a very hard working Pr.6 pupil who was eager to share his homework project all about the European Union. He could talk at length all about what he had learned and was very keen to share his project. Great work indeed! I look forward to seeing the research projects from the rest of the class when they have finished.
Our hard working and dedicated PTA did a wonderful job last night of quenching our thirst with plenty of tea and coffee for both staff and parents. They also provided a wonderful array of homebaking that was delicious. Waistlines were forgotten about as the cakes were simply just too good. Thanks to your wonderful support on the night the PTA raised over £200.
The school is delighted to report that it has received over 1,000 hits to the site in one week. As a school we pride ourselves in looking for ways to communicate with all parents the great work taking place here at S.Augustine’s. It is great that we have so many people logging onto our school blog to see the work and achievements of our pupils and the school community. As our blog has been running since March we wanted to find out just how much it was being viewed by parents and pupils. A web counter was added last week and it really is great to learn that our school community is checking our blog. Please note that the old website has now been redirected to the new blog page which has a number of additional features on the drop down menus. The drop down menus aim to inform all parents and visitors to the blog all about the school. Our newsletters will be uploaded and we will feature the current menu from catering services. Thank you for your great support so far.
Some of our children were put through their paces yesterday at their P.E. slots when Frankie and Benny’s came to provide lessons on creating a healthy menu and also running aerobics classes. The children had a wonderful time listening to the music and as you can see from our pictures they enjoyed all took part with great enthusiasm.
The school community looks forward to opening it’s doors this afternoon and evening and also on Thursday evening to welcome all parents and carers for the first of our Parent’s evenings. Please remember to sign in when you enter the foyer. Our hardworking and dedicated PTA members have volunteered to provide tea, coffee and homebaking at this event. All proceeds will go towards PTA funds. We look forward to seeing you all this week.
Today I had a visit from a wonderful Pr.2 pupil who went above and beyond the call of duty to complete a wonderful homework activity. After a visit to my office he went off to visit classes to share his learning. Well done!!!
Our Health Week got off to a wonderful start thanks to the efforts of Dance Instructor Audrey Clark. She put the children through their paces and had everyone on their feet as they produced their dance moves. The feedback from the children was great and demonstrated that we have some really talented dancers in our midst!! Here a few photographs from this mornings street dance class.
Our Silver for Syria campaign led by our Parent Council has raised a considerable amount of money. So far we have managed to fill one heart and are now looking for more donations to fill the larger heart. Please send in your loose change to help us complete the challenge for Syria. 
It is wonderful to announce that so far our sponsored walk has raised over £2,300 for school funds. This is an astonishing amount of money and reflects the amazing generosity of all our parents, families and wider community. Could I please ask that any outstanding sponsor money be sent to the school by the end of this week. Many thanks in anticipation of your response.
This week will be a very busy and extremely active week as we have a strong focus on Health and Wellbeing. Our Health week will see a variety of visitors come to the school to encourage our children to be more active and to pursue a healthy lifestyle. On Monday dance coach Audrey Clark will visit the school to work with Pr.1 – 3 on a wide variety of dance moves to get everyone on their feet. I am hopeful that Audrey will be able to work with our Pr.4 – 7 pupils at a later date. Tuesday will see staff from Frankie and Benny’s come to the school to work with children from Pr4 – 7 on creating healthy menus and also to get involved with some aerobics exercises. Our Active Sports co-ordinator Vikki Sadler will visit the school on Tuesday to take our Pr.1 – 3 pupils on a variety of outdoor activities. Children will also follow their P.E. programme that promotes active engagement in a wide variety of activities. On Wednesday the school will welcome Dogs Trust who will deliver presentations throughout the school. As this is National Walk to School Week we are hopeful that more of our children will make the effort to walk to school everyday. Please support our Health Week by reminding pupils to bring their P.E. kit to school and to eat healthy snacks this week. Our fingers are crossed that the weather will remain favourable and permit us to make full use of the school grounds throughout the week.
