What’s on This Week?
This week classes across the school are engaged in their Enterprise projects developing skills for learning, life and work. We are working in partnership with our fantastic PTA to help prepare for our Christmas Fair taking place in Saturday 3rd Dec. Please keep the date in your diary. Classes are also involved in Scottish Studies and are learning their song for our forthcoming St.Andrew’s Day concert on Thurs. 30th Nov. Preparations are also now well underway for our Christmas Nativity and Show. This week is also Ant-Bullying Week. All in all St.Augustine’s is a hive of activity as always with children developing as confident individuals and successful learners.
