Hope for Autism visit
Thank you to Hope for Autism for visiting the school today to raise awareness on Autism. The boys and girls got to ask questions and even learned some Makaton.
Primary 2 visit Church
Primary 2 boys and girls visited Father Kane at the Church on Friday. They enjoyed visiting the sacristy and learning about the important areas of our church and learned about the special things used for mass.
Parkour
Some great balance and technique on show at Parkour today. Well done boys and girls you look amazing.
Primary 2 Library Visit
P2s in Room 3 visited Coatbridge Library as part of their learning on the theme of Scotland. They had a fantastic time with Lauren the librarian who read stories by Scottish authors and they danced and sang songs in Scots Language too! “It’s wis rer!”
The children were able to take out books with their library card and those who don’t have one yet went home with a membership request form. Hopefully all our pupils will take advantage of this fantastic local facility to boost our children’s Literacy skills!
HMI Survey
The school is delighted that a return visit by HMI week beg. 26th February will provide all stakeholders involved with the school an opportunity to share the great work that is taking place at St.Augustine’s and to discuss the ongoing improvement agenda that is enabling all the wonderful children at St.Augustine’s to develop as successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens. To assist with this process and to ensure the views of parents have been sought there is a link below to the online survey.
