Last week some of our P5, 6 and 7’s attended the Football Festival at St Ambrose. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best but it didn’t stop us for giving it our all in our games. Well done boys and girls.

Monthly Awards Assembly
Our whole school assembly was a great opportunity to share the successful month we had here at St Augustine’s. We kicked things off today with our dance troupe sharing their dance in front of the whole school.
After we all congratulated their efforts our house captains shared all our important announcements and awarded our maths, literacy and artists of the month. Well done to our award winners.

Final Rag Bag Collection of the Year
Should you be stuck indoors over the next little while please start to clear out all your old clothes, shoes and bedding as very soon the final rag bags of the year will be issued to children to bring home. Our last collection before the summer break is on 6th June so watch out for bags coming home.
Thank you in advance for supporting this event.

Looking for signs of Spring
P2 had a ball enjoying being outdoors this week. They were hunting for signs of Spring using their 5 senses. They found buds and seedlings growing, mini beasts, bird nests and much, much more. They could feel the warmth of the sun, smell flowers and hear birds singing which inspired them to write lovely poems.
As you can see from their cheery faces the children loved being outside and keeping themselves active and healthy at the same time. There will be lots more of these experiences to come this term and we can’t wait to share our learning with you.
Sport Education in Primary 7
Primary 7 were introduced to a series of learning this week by Mr Hart. The boys and girls will work in teams over the next 5 weeks to develop their skills in the game of basketball as well as learning how to referee and evaluate each other’s performance. As you can see they are getting stuck in and we can’t wait to see how they develop over the next few weeks.
