SUPER SOUP!!
Primary One/Two were very excited coming to school this morning as they were cooking in the kitchen. The vegetables that they harvested yesterday were ready to go into delicious homemade soup. The children had to give the vegetables a good wash first though!
The children learned how to use the grater when preparing the carrots for the soup.
They added potatoes, carrots and onion and some magic stock. The smell was as good as the taste!
Miss Ross reports that the children had a lovely afternoon doing purposeful play; learning role play through Percy and his friends, Making Percy cards at the writing table and using play doh to make exciting things for Percy and his friends.
Later everyone sat down together and had some lovely soup with nice, crusty bread. The boys and girls even sent some soup along to the office for Mrs.Docherty!!! Super soup indeed!!
St.Augustine’s Superstars
At our assembly this week we celebrated the achievement of children both in class and also outside school. Children were recognised for their good citizenship and the excellent effort given to their work in class. We also learned about some highly talented and dedicated pupils who took part in competitions and events that involved dancing, cycling and running. Quite an accomplishment!
Primary 1 and 2 in the Garden
Primary one and two have been very busy this week looking after Percy’s Garden and digging up all his vegetables.
They harvested carrots, potatoes and onions today and are going to make delicious Homemade Soup in our kitchen tomorrow!
They also helped pick up all of the litter in our school garden. A very busy day indeed for all the Primary One/Two children. Well done Room 3.
Sponsored Walk
Our annual sponsored walk along the leafy lanes and landmarks of our locality will take place on Thursday 22nd September. Please remember to check your child’s school bag for permission letter and sponsor form. This is the school’s major fundraising event to raise money for school funds that help us to provide coaches for afterschool clubs, to cover the cost of buses and to support the cost of outside visits throughout the school year for all classes. We look forward to your generous support. Any parents who would like to join us for our walk please contact the school. We would love to have your company!!
NL Walking Festival
The first North Lanarkshire Walking Festival, will take place over this September weekend, all over North Lanarkshire. Walking is one of the easiest ways for us all to become more active and to encourage a healthy lifestyle and I’m sure you’ll agree that starting with our young people can encourage patterns of behaviour that help them in to adulthood. The leaflet below gives details in regard of the variety of walks taking place within North Lanarkshire.

Parental Feedback
At our very recent Open Evening/Meet the Teacher Event a survey took place to gather parental views on Homework and Curriculum Rationale . Parent views have been collated and will be reviewed alongside the views of pupils and staff in order that they inform our revised school policy on Homework and enable us to make a draft statement in regard of Curriculum Rationale. The draft policy and statement will be presented at the forthcoming parents evenings.
The collated responses are available from the links below.
Maths challenges in Pr.3
Pr.3, Room 11 pupils have been desperate to share their learning in maths fom last week on the school blog. They were using their own number cards to make 3 digit numbers in their groups. As a group they had to decide who made the biggest number and order them from largest to smallest. Great team work!
