At our whole school assembly this week children were reminded about the Easter Bonnet Parade and Egg Challenge. Children were informed about the changes that lie ahead when we return to school after the Easter holidays when the lunchtime pre-order system comes into effect. This will further speed up the service at lunchtime and ensure all children get their preferred meal option. It will also significantly reduce food waste. Children learned that meals match colours and that they will be given a coloured band to wear to the dining hall, i.e. main meal is red, baked potato is white. We are confident that this initiative will further improve the efficiency of the kitchen servery.
At our whole school assembly our Eco Committee did a presentation to share with the whole school the work that took place during our Eco week. Their powerpoint presentation was enjoyed by everyone and they had a very special announcement at the end. St.Augustine’s have achieved their second Eco Schools Green Flag!!!! What an achievement!! Well done Mrs.Chisholm, Miss Ross and Mrs.O’Neil and the pupils from the Eco Committee for leading the school to this excellent achievement.

As part of Pr.7’s Lenten Charity work the class organised a bake off to find out who was the master baker in Pr.7. As you can see the response was excellent with invited judge Caroline Hughes having a very difficult job identifying the winners. Here are a few pictures that capture the day. Unfortunately we won’t be able to taste them. However, the overwhelming verdict was that they were scrumptious!

The pupils of St.Augustine’s have been very busy this week tidying our school grounds in preparation for Spring. They have made a great difference to the school. Mrs.Chisholm, Miss Ross and Mrs.O’Neil are delighted with the efforts of all the classes. Many thanks to the parent helpers who gave up their time and came along to help out. Your help is very much appreciated.

Our Pr.7 pupils in Room 16 have been hard at work learning about America. Here are a few pictures of them hard at work in their co-operative learning groups working on their scripts for a holiday programme. Mrs.Docherty is now looking forward to seeing the finished product. Perhaps we have some budding presenters among our very confident individuals.
