What’s on this Week?

Last week was our financial education week. We enjoyed visits by Money Adivce Scotland and HMRC.  North Lanarkshire’s Financial Inclusion Team also visited the school a few weeks ago. We are confident the children have a much more informed knowledge about how to manage money and just how challenging it must be to manage the family budget. We are quite sure Money Saving Expert, Martin Lewis, would be most impressed with the work undertaken across the school to teach necessary life skills.  Our twitter page also has lots of featured news about the wonderful learning that took place last week. Please check our twitter page.  This week we will have a focus on Safer Internet.  Classes across the school will focus upon teacing children about how to stay safe online – another important life skill.  This week we will also receive a visit from NSPCC who will deliver assemblies and carry out workshops with Pr. 6 and 7 pupils. Another busy week at St.Augustine’s!!

This week it is our Financial Education week with all classes across the school focusing on all things money related.  There are planned visits by HMRC who will deliver workshops in a number of classes during the week.  Pr. 6 will also get involved in an exciting day long workshop called ‘Enterprise is the  Business’  that will also include an invitation to parents to join them at 2.15pm and find out all about the learning that day. Classes will update the blog this week to share their learning. Being money savvy is an important life skill that starts from an early age and we hope that our annual whole school focus will support the children to budget well in the future.

Happy New Year and welcome back

Leave a comment

Happy New Year to our whole school community.  We hope you enjoyed a lovely holiday with your family and friends and feel well rested for the year ahead.  We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday.  Whilst we are sure to see some very tired faces we are confident the children will enjoy being back in the company of their friends.  We are also confident that many parents will enjoy the peace and quiet for a few hours.
