Our Pr.4 – 7 pupils were invited to a Rugby Festival on Monday 7th at the Waysiders Rugby Club in Drumpellier. The children returned to school full of energy and enthused about their morning. They gave it a resounding 10 out of 10. The event was very well organised and accommodated the 180 pupils who attended from St.Augustine’s. A huge big thank you to everyone at the Rugby club for hosting such an event. We hope you to make a return visit soon.

Pr. 4 – 6 visit Five Sisters Zoo
Our Pr.4 – 6 pupils left the school on mass this week to visit Five Sisters Zoo as part of their work on Biodiversity this term. The feedback from the children on their return was extremely positive and demonstrated that the children had enjoyed a most successful trip and had learned a great deal. I received a phonecall just as I was leaving school last night to pass on compliments to the school for the wonderful behaviour and polite manners that were on show from all our boys and girls at the zoo. This was a delightful surprise and our children are to be commended for being excellent ambassadors for the school. Well done boys and girls.
Sports Day Pr.4 – 7
Here is our picture gallery from yesterday’s great sports day. The competitive spirit shone through on the day with children striving to do their best and have great fun at the same time. Feedback from parents was highly positive so we can look forward to a similar format for next year. Let’s hope the weather will be a kind to us next year too!!
Albion Rovers
The school was delighted to welcome an Albion Rovers coach to the school who worked with Pr.4 – 6 pupils and then visited the classes with the trophy that they won for winning the league title.
Health Week
Our Health Week is well underway with all children involved in a full programme of activities and visits. On Monday the school welcomed NLC Nutritionist Michelle McGuiness who did a considerable amount of work with Pr.1 – 5 pupils. Firstly she worked with Pr.4 and Pr.5 to give a 10 mins talk about health eating and healthy food. Children were then encouraged to create their own healthy menu of starter, main meal and dessert which was then collected to assist with a future menu planning meeting. In addition there were food tasters for the children. Our Pr.1 – 3 children were involved in going to a variety of stations around the school hall. As you can see there was plenty to keep everyone involved and hopefully the healthy food and healthy eating message got across to all.
First Communicants
Congratulations to our final group of Primary 4 pupils who received their First Holy Communion on Sunday. George the photographer has very kindly agreed once again to take a group picture of the two groups and has given them to us to post on our blog. I am sure you will agree that they look terrific! The school and parish community were extremely proud of all the children who received their First Communion over the last two weeks.
First Communion
Our first group of First Communicants celebrated their First Holy Communion on Sunday at the 10 and 12 o’clock Masses. Everyone agreed they did a marvellous job, looked wonderful and made their families, teacher and school feel extremely proud. Here are the pictures of the groups on the day. We can now look forward to the next group of pupils who will receive their First Holy Communion on Sunday. We continue to pray for the children and their families at this important time.
Netball Superstars
Some of our Pr.4 pupils represented the school at a recent netball festival at Coatbridge High School. Well done boys and girls for being such great ambassadors of the school!
Solar Eclipse
Pupils from Room 11 were keen to show off their art work that depicted the recent solar eclipse.
Pr.4 Easter Enterprise
Miss Cameron’s Easter Entrepreneurs have been busy at work advertising, receiving, processing and delivering orders for their Easter business.

Order forms have been sent out to Pr.1 – 3.
Order forms will be sent to Pr.4 – 7 next week. £3.50 for one. Special offer 3 for £10.
Great work boys and girls.
