Monthly Awards Assembly
Well done to our new house captains and vice captains who introduced their first whole school assembly this morning for our monthly awards.
February was another busy and successful month for our school and as you can see some wonderful achievements have been made. We have some finalists in cross country, gymnastics, swimming and netball. We wish everyone good luck.
Well done to our maths, writing and artists of the month we are so proud of you all.
Lent
It has been great to see such a good attendance of children at the early morning Mass at 8.00am. To support children and families and to encourage an attendance at Mass during Lent breakfast will be provided in the school afterwards. Cereal and fruit juice is provided.

What’s on this Week?
Our week ahead is a busy one and also a very important one for St.Augustine’s School. We pray for our Pr. 6 and 7 pupils who will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on Monday evening. This week we also share our ongoing improvement agenda with HMI who will visit the school on Wednesday and Thursday. We hope they will be suitably impressed with all the great work that is taking place across the school. A glimpse through our school blog gives a flavour of all the wonderful learning opportunities that are provided for all and reflects the many achievements of St.Augustine’s pupils both in school and beyond. We are proud of our school and we hope HMI will agree with us that our improvement agenda is impacting positively upon all our children.

Solo Talks in P2
Rooms 3 and 4 were demonstrating that they are already confident individuals by giving talks to their class on a Scottish Landmark of their choice. The research was amazing and they presented the facts clearly to the class audience, with good eye contact and engaging visuals. Of course the class audience listened perfectly and they learned lots from each other. Wow! We are so impressed.
Budding Authors in Primary 2
Pupils in P2 have been extremely busy writing their own books for Literacy Week. Our little budding authors were helped by their P7 buddies who edited their stories and helped them spell some tricky words. Lots of encouragement was given to get all their ideas down on paper. Next step publishing! We can’t wait to read them!
