Our Literacy Week had a great legacy as children shared their chapter books with each other across classes. Here we have a few pictures that capture how proud the children felt about their writing as they shared their work with their peers. Great work boys and girls!!
Our Cookery Afterschool Club is growing from strength to strength and the food smells delicious. The children have been learning how to cut food safely using the bridge and claw method. So we are happy to report no kitchen accidents. Here are a few pictures of our young chefs at work.
A highly entertaining morning took place last week as the boys and girls of Room 12 and Room 15 shared their learning. The boys and girls of Room 12 shared the novels they had written during our Literacy Week. Children read enthusiastically and enjoyed the opportunity to impress others with their novels. Mrs.McGlone reported that she was really pleased that this was successfully received by both classes. Well done authors!

On Friday we continued our celebration of World Book Day. After our attendance at First Friday Mass the boys and girls changed into their costumes that were based upon characters from the world of fiction. It really was fantastic to see such a great response from pupils across the school. Our Friday morning assembly involved the pupils of Pr. 4 – 7 who listened to a recap of the weeks events and then had a parade in their costumes. We look forward to next week when the boys and girls across the school share the books they have written themselves in class. We also have timetabled slots to visit the book fair. A busy week ahead as always at St.Augustine’s. As son as we have pictures of the Pr.1 – 3 assembly we will post them on the blog.
Room 12 were delighted to receive their World Book Day tokens in time for the Book Fair. They have been engaged in the creation of their own novels and have written a variety of genres from Sci-fi, Spy and Rainforest Adventures. This week they were involved in illustrating their book covers, producing a blurb and editing and redrafting their stories through collaboration with others. Looking forward to the scheduled activities for the rest of the week.
Miss Lester and Miss Burns cooking club was a hive of activity this afternoon as the group made breadsticks. Great team work is clearly on show!
The boys and girls of Room 10 have been very busy this term learning all about the Vikings. Their homework project set a challenge that involved designing and creating a model Viking longship. As you can see they took up the challenge and were desperate to share their work with the pupils of Room 12. Great work boys and girls!!
Last week we had a strong group of very talented long distance runners who took part in the North Lanarkshire Qualifiers. It was a great morning that gave our very talented pupils the opportunity to represent the school with pride. We are delighted to announce that every single pupil beat their personal best and we also have a number of pupils who qualified for the finals. What a super achievement!! Great work boys and girls!
