Two of our Pr.6 pupils returned to school jubilant after their success at the weekend. One pupil won 1st place in the relay at the Scottish Indoor Athletic Championships and also won a medal in the 75 metre sprint race. Our other champion came 9th in the World Irish Dancing Championships at Killarney. Two very talented boys. Great work. St.Augustine’s is very proud of both of you.
The boys and girls of Rooms 13 – 16 were treated to a museum visit with a difference today that enhanced their learning about the First and Second World Wars whilst also giving them an opportunity to handle the exhibits and learn some new and interesting facts. Many thanks to Ian and his mobile museum. We are sure to invite Ian back for further workshop session next year.

Mrs. McGlone was happy to pass on her photographs that recorded the wonderful day that the children experienced at the Science Centre. At our Friday assembly the boys and girls were happy to volunteer what they had learned on their visit.
An exciting and highly educational day was had by all with children completely enthused with their day. Below is a slideshow that captures they day beautifully.
The Infant department set off on an exciting journey to the Science Centre today. In class they are sure to be writing about their experiences, what they learned and what was most memorable about the day. The pictures give a little clue to how successful the day was for everyone.
Mrs.Elliott lead this afternoons assembly and celebrated the achievements of our superstars and also our cup winning Gaelic Football Team from Saturday. They won the St.Patricks Cup which was a wonderful achievement. As you can see from the smiles our team were feeling very proud of their achievement and success. Well done team!!
