Our wonderful children shone this afternoon at the school talent show. Superb performances from across the school. We had magic, singing, dancing, gymnastics, musical instruments and even a flash mob! Our judging panel had tough decisions to make on winners because everyone who
took part were superstars. Well done boys and girls for being brave and performing in front of the whole school.
Reminder – we have our annual Talent Show taking place on Friday 4th ay. This is also a non-uniform day to raise money for school funds. Cost £1.00.
Reminder – Our Annual Open Afternoon will take place on Thursday 3rd May. The doors open at 1.30pm for parents and grandparents to visit classes, observe the learning environment and to see children share their learning. We hope you can manage to come along for a most entertaining afternoon.
Our very talented school football team represented the school superbly at the finals of the Friendship League at Airdrie Football Stadium. They were amazing !! They played 5 hotly contested games. They drew 1-1 with St Pat’s and St. Timothy’s. Won against Carnbroe 5-3 and Greenhill 8-2. They were narrowly defeated by Kirkshaws 2-3. They came third overall with St Timothy’s winning and St. Pat’s second. Our team were a joy to watch and were outstanding ambassadors of the school.
Please ensure you have checked your child’s school bag and that you have received a copy of our final newlsetter for this school session. It is packed full of information and dates for your diary. Dates of retreats for Pr.3, 4, 6 and 7 were only finalised on Friday and were included in the Parish Bulletin on Sunday. Many thanks to Father Kane and our fabulous PTA who are funding the day for all pupils at either the Parish Centre or Carfin Grotto (Pr.4). Our retreats are now an established feature of our school calendar and are greatly enjoyed by all pupils and staff. Please note our first group of Pr. 4 pupils will receive the Sacrament of First Communion on Sunday 6th May 10.00am. We keep all our Pr. 4 pupils in our prayers as they prepare to receive this Sacrament. Please remember Monday 7th May is a Bank Holiday and the school will closed that day.

Our whole school assembly was a great opportunity to share the successful month we had here at St Augustine’s. We kicked things off today with our dance troupe sharing their dance in front of the whole school.
After we all congratulated their efforts our house captains shared all our important announcements and awarded our maths, literacy and artists of the month. Well done to our award winners.
Mrs Elliott was delighted with the awards given at her weekly assembly over the last two weeks. As you can see our award winners are pleased that their hard work, positive attitude and being a great example to others is being recognised. Well done boys and girls keep up the great work!
As part of the Scottish Government’s drive to give children the best start in life, improve health outcomes and tackle inequality, a consultation has been opened to inform the development of an effective and proportionate Welfare Foods package for Scotland that reaches the right children at the right time, makes it easier for families to make healthier choices, improves delivery and makes best use of resources. This consultation is asking for views on how best to take forward powers to better meet the needs of children and families in Scotland. Welfare Foods includes the current UK Healthy Start Vouchers and Nursery Milk Scheme. Closing date is 28th June 2018

Primary 7 have been learning about different types of pollution and today explored the process of filtering dirty water. There were some very shocked faces at some of the residue.
