Marshmallow Snowmen
The highly industrious pupils of Room 10 have been very busy on the production line making terrific snowmen marshmallows for selling at our Christmas Fair on Saturday. The sweet smell of soft mallows was mouthwatering as you walked up stairs and headed to a room full of activity. The finished products look fantastic and are sure to sell out quickly!!!

Sportshall Athletics
Some of our Pr. 6 and 7 pupils represented the school at a sportshall athletics event at Airdrie Leisure Centre on Friday. This was a highly competitive event to qualify for the NL finals. Our fingers are crossed that our group of athletes have scored high enough. They are to be commended for their great effort and determination on the day. Fantastic work boys and girls.
Dana comes to school
International singing star and Eurovision Song Winner Dana joined us this morning for a school assembly. She sang to the children and had the whole school join in with her song to Our Lord. It was both beautiful and memorable. Some of our children also entertained Dana and her husband Damien with a few Scottish songs. This went down a treat as Dana had shared that she had quite a bit of scottish ancestry. As Dana left she marvelled at the 3D models on display in the foyer that represented the landmarks of Coatbridge. Dana didn’t need a tour round Coatbridge it was all on display in the school foyer.
Dana is coming to visit
The school will be delighted to welcome former winner of the Eurovision Song Contest ‘Dana’ to the school tomorrow. Dana plans to sing to the children and also teach them a song. We are all looking forward to this special visit.
Award Winners
Once again the school was delighted to see a collection of superstarts being awarded Pupil of the Week Awards, Marevellous Manner Awards and Good Citizen Awards. It is great to see our children being recognised for their excellent effort in school. Well done boys and girls!!
Well done St.Aug’s Football Team
Our fabulous football team took part in another thrilling game at St.Ambrose. Yesterday they played against Greenhill and were very disappointed that the final score was 6-5 to Greenhill. They had a chance to make it even in the dying minutes of the game but it was not to be. The boys have been excellent ambassadors for the school and shown great talent and sportsmanship in all their ties which is great to see. We are confident they will be successful in their next match. Keep up the great work boys!!!
