Sports Day Highlights
Our Sports Day was a great success with the sun shining and everyone taking part in the traditional races. A huge thanks to the mums and dads who entered into the spirit of the day and took part in their own race. The children loved it!! Thankfully there were no injuries when we had a few parents fall as they raced to the finish line. Although perhaps there was just a bit a bruised pride!!
Mud Kitchen
Last week Room 3 went into the garden and prepared some delicious food in our very own ‘Mud Kitchen’. They made mud pizza, pancakes, salad, sandwiches and leaf dogs (hot dogs). They harvested the radishes from our raised beds and washed and cut them. Some children even tasted the radishes!
Have a look at our learning in pictures above.
Pr. 7 Retreat
Our Pr.7 pupils attended their retreat on Friday lead by Father Kane and Father Travers. A great day was had by all children who responded well to the call to lead their lives informed by Gospel values and the inspirational lives of some well know saints. Many thanks to both Father Kane and Father Travers for all their support during our retreat week.

Pr. 6 and 7 NSPCC Workshops
The pupils of Pr. 6 and 7 were involved in workshops lead by the NSPCC and Childline this week to learn about using social media responsibly and sharing images online. Our involvement with the NSPCC is now well established in our school calendar as we aim to continue to raise awareness about safer internet use and cyberbullying. Many thanks to Richard and his team who also delivered at our assemblies last week.
SPORTS DAY ANNOUNCEMENT

Parents and grandparents will be able to get a seat directly after the morning break and lunchtime break. Children can come to school that day in their sports clothes. Keep all fingers crossed for a rain free day, it’s not too much to ask in June!!
A Super Generous Pupil!!
One of our Pr. 4 pupils generously donated the money she received as gifts on the occasion of her recent First Holy Communion to Mary’s Meals. Her outstandingly generous gift of £500 ( which equated to £624.75 with Gift Aid) will mean 45 children will be fed for a whole school year. Our wonderful Pr. 4 pupil is a perfect example of Faith in Action. Let’s hope her generous spirit leads us all to reflect and think of how we can think of and support others. Here is a picture of our Faith Ambassador with Liz from Mary’s Meals. Liz presented her with a lovely letter and certificate from the charity. St.Augustine’s is extremely proud of you and lots of children will be well fed this year thanks to your kind and generous deed.
