There was great excitement when our Pr.1 pupils went outside to place their bean plants in our new greenhouse. Everyone is looking forward to planting them in the ground after Easter. They will need canes to support them as they will grow really tall.

Room 11 pupils working for St.Andrew’s Hospice
Some enterprising pupils from Room 11 raised the fantastic sum of £16.47 making and selling chinese lanterns during the first few weeks of Lent. All proceeds raised went to St.Andrew’s Hospice. Well done boys and girls.
Daffodil Tea
Our Daffodil Tea for parents and grandparents will take place tomorrow at 11.00am. All proceeds will go to St.Andrew’s Hospice along with the sum raised at our Easter Bonnet Parade.
Raising Money for Charity
The boys and girls of the Global Citizens Committee raised the staggering sum of £614.50 thanks to their fund raising work and the contribution made by the pupils of Room 3. The money will be sent to the San Juan Apostol School in Arequipa, Peru. Quite an achievement boys and girls.
Easter Egg Challenge
The school was delighted with the support from the pupils of Pr. 4 – 7 who responded magnificently to the Egg Challenge. Classes used time in the morning to decorate their eggs in preparation for the competition in the afternoon. Poor Mrs.McKeown and Mrs.Redmond had a real challenge on their hands as they had the responsibility of judging the competition. Great work boys and girls because everybody did a marvellous job!! The standard was so high!
Easter Egg Bonnet Parade
The school was delighted to see so many parents and grandparents come along to join in and celebrate with the boys and girls as they had their traditional Easter Bonnet Parade. Well done to everyone for the great effort that was put into creating such masterpieces. They really were quite amazing!! Miss Ross has become our official photographer so as you can see there were lots of pictures taken on the day to record the event.
Room 11 Decorating Eggs
Room 11 sent along a few pictures to share with you. Here they are in class letting their creative juices flow as they decorate their eggs for our Easter Egg Challenge. The finished eggs were eggstraordinary!!!
Room 3 Egg Hunt
Room 3 children took part in an egg hunt and raised a further £43.50 to add to the total raised already. Great work Room 3.
Impressive Homework in Room 14
The pupils of Pr.6, Room 14 were sharing their learning this week. They were set the challenge to find out about the history of navigation as a result of work on compass directions. They gave super presentations to their classmates and impressed their teacher with their skilled delivery. Well done Room 14!
A Busy Week at St.Augustine’s
At our whole school assembly this week children were reminded about the Easter Bonnet Parade and Egg Challenge. Children were informed about the changes that lie ahead when we return to school after the Easter holidays when the lunchtime pre-order system comes into effect. This will further speed up the service at lunchtime and ensure all children get their preferred meal option. It will also significantly reduce food waste. Children learned that meals match colours and that they will be given a coloured band to wear to the dining hall, i.e. main meal is red, baked potato is white. We are confident that this initiative will further improve the efficiency of the kitchen servery.
At our whole school assembly our Eco Committee did a presentation to share with the whole school the work that took place during our Eco week. Their powerpoint presentation was enjoyed by everyone and they had a very special announcement at the end. St.Augustine’s have achieved their second Eco Schools Green Flag!!!! What an achievement!! Well done Mrs.Chisholm, Miss Ross and Mrs.O’Neil and the pupils from the Eco Committee for leading the school to this excellent achievement.
