Today our senior pupils shared their views on our school and what they are proud of. They also shared their ideas on anything they think we could do better. It is very evident our children are proud of St Augustines, their achievements and successes.

Primary 6/7 and Primary 7 had a great morning working co-operatively to design the tallest freestanding tower made of spaghetti today. We would like to thank the team from IBM who came to tell us the attributes and qualities you need to work as part of a team in the field of innovation.

Confirmation

Confirmation Preparation
The boys and girls of Primary 6 and 7 have been working hard in preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation that takes place on Monday 26th February at St Augustine’s Church. We would like to thank Father Kane for all his support in preparation for this important event.
Confirmandi children were issued with a letter today from Father Kane to confirm arrangements for Monday. We would ask children be seated by 6.30pm for the service which is due to commence at 7pm. Sponsors should make themselves known to staff and will be directed to their reserved seating.
Seating will be reserved for candidates and their sponsors only. Parents and other family members are asked to choose seating outwith the reserved areas.
Children are asked to wear full school uniform on the night and refrain from wearing cardigans or jumpers and should remove their jackets. Please ensure everyone wears white school shirt and tie.
At the appropriate time during mass each sponsor should place his/her right hand on the candidates right shoulder.
Thank you very much for your support in preparing your child for this event.
STEM Lava Lamps in P6/7 and P7
The first floor was a hive of activity this afternoon as the children carried out a science expiriment to see what would happen when water, oil, food colouring and effervescent tablets are mixed together. We made predictions and evaluated the results.
During this activity we learned that water and oil do not mix because of something called intermolecular polarity. Some fantastic cooperative learning on display. Here are some pictures to share our learning.
